Omeprazole Enteric Coated & Domperidone Sustained Release Capsules

Omeprazole Enteric Coated & Domperidone Sustained Release Capsules: Omeprazole + domperidone treats the ill effects of heartburn, vomiting, epigastric pain, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Omeprazole + Domperidone is a combination of two drugs: Omeprazole and Domperidone. Omeprazole acts as a proton pump inhibitor, and Domperidone as a dopamine antagonist. Omeprazole works by blocking the activity of an enzyme known as the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. On the other hand, Domperidone helps to increase contractions in the stomach muscles. Therefore, Omeprazole + domperidone is useful in treating acidity.
