How OMEZ D SR CAPSULE Works
OMEZ
D SR CAPSULE contains two medicines namely domperidone and omeprazole.
Domperidone works by blocking the actions of a chemical messenger called
dopamine in the gut and across the brain and spinal cord. This action
stimulates the gut, reduces acid reflux and speeds up the movements of
food from the stomach into the intestines. It also blocks the
transmission of nerve signals between the vomiting centres and the brain
which reduces the onset of nausea and vomiting. Omeprazole is a proton
pump inhibitor. It reduces gastric acid secretion by the blocking the
actions of a protein membrane called H+K+Atpase (proton pump) present in
the lining of the stomach. By reducing stomach acid production, OMEZ D
SR CAPSULEmanages the worsening of ulcers, heals the existing ulcers and
esophageal lesions and provides relief from the unpleasant symptoms of
GI tract (such as acidity, bloating, burping and indigestion).
