INTRODUCTION ABOUT OMEZ D SR CAPSULE
OMEZ D SR CAPSULE is a combination of Domperidone and Omeprazole, which belong to the group of medicines called Prokinetic Drugs and Proton pump inhibitors, respectively. It is used to manage peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumours in the pancreas causing the stomach to secrete more acid).
Peptic ulcers are painful sores that develop on the linings of the stomach, esophagus, and/or intestines. It causes severe stomach pain with a sensation of flatulence, indigestion, vomiting, and fatigue.
OMEZ D SR CAPSULE is effective in managing peptic ulcers caused either by a stomach infection (H. pylori infection) or by prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen and aceclofenac).
GERD is a chronic digestive disease in which acid from the stomach frequently flows into the esophagus, leading to irritation of the lining of the food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, the sensation of a lump in the throat, and stomach discomfort.
OMEZ D SR CAPSULE acts by reducing the production of gastric acid. It also speeds up the movement of food from the stomach to the intestines, thereby reducing the signs of nausea, vomiting, and acid reflux. Due to these actions, it can also reduce the unpleasant signs of the GI tract, such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, burping, bloating, acidity, or heartburn.
OMEZ D SR CAPSULE is suitable for use both in adults and in children (aged 12 years or older and weighing 35 kg or more). It should be taken at least 15–30 minutes before meals. During management with OMEZ D SR CAPSULE, your doctor will closely monitor your kidney functions, liver functions, and blood magnesium levels to avoid the risk of unwanted side effects.
Before taking OMEZ D SR CAPSULE, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have any blockages, tears in the gut, or weak bones.
OMEZ D SR CAPSULE is not recommended for use in patients with bleeding from the gut. Consult your doctor before taking OMEZ D SR CAPSULE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The most common side effects of taking OMEZ D SR CAPSULE are dryness of mouth, constipation, and flatulence. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects bother you.
You must also inform your doctor immediately if you experience any abnormal signs such as unusual tiredness, abnormal muscle movements, dizziness, confusion, disorientation, an irregular heartbeat, fragile bones, bloody stools or vomits, or sudden weight loss.
USES OF OMEZ D SR CAPSULE
It is used in adults and in children (aged 12 years or older and weighing 35 kg or more) to manage:
- Peptic ulcers
- Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD)
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumours in the pancreas causing the stomach to secrete more acid)
- Nausea and vomiting

HOW OMEZ D SR CAPSULE WORKS
OMEZ D SR CAPSULE contains two medicines, namely domperidone and omeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic medicine with anti-emetic properties. It 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 movement 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 blocking the actions of a protein membrane called H+K+Atpase (the proton pump) present in the lining of the stomach.
By reducing stomach acid production, OMEZ D SR CAPSULE manages the worsening of ulcers, heals the existing ulcers and oesophageal lesions, and provides relief from the unpleasant symptoms of the GI tract (such as acidity, bloating, burping, and indigestion).
