OMIDOM CAPSULE 6'S

How OMIDOM CAPSULE 6'S Works

• OMIDOM CAPSULE 6'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other acid-related disorders. It combines two active ingredients: omeprazole and domperidone, each working through different mechanisms to provide comprehensive relief.
• Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), directly addresses the root cause of excessive acid production in the stomach. Parietal cells within the stomach lining contain proton pumps that are responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid, which is essential for digestion. Omeprazole selectively binds to and inhibits these proton pumps, effectively reducing the amount of acid produced. By suppressing acid production, omeprazole helps to heal the damaged esophageal lining in GERD, relieve heartburn, and prevent further irritation. Its effects are long-lasting, providing sustained acid control.
• Domperidone, on the other hand, is a prokinetic agent that primarily works by enhancing the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It functions as a dopamine receptor antagonist, blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain and in the gastrointestinal tract itself. By blocking dopamine receptors in the CTZ, domperidone reduces nausea and vomiting. More importantly, it increases the strength of esophageal contractions and accelerates gastric emptying. This means that food and stomach acid are moved more quickly out of the stomach and into the small intestine, reducing the likelihood of reflux. The increased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure also helps to prevent stomach acid from flowing back up into the esophagus.
• The synergistic action of omeprazole and domperidone in OMIDOM CAPSULE 6'S offers a multi-faceted approach to managing GERD and related conditions. Omeprazole reduces acid production, while domperidone enhances gastric emptying and reduces nausea. This combination not only provides symptomatic relief from heartburn, acid regurgitation, and nausea but also promotes healing of the esophageal lining and prevents recurrence of symptoms. The controlled release formulation ensures that both medications are released effectively, maximizing their therapeutic benefits throughout the day. Patients should use OMIDOM CAPSULE 6'S as directed by their healthcare provider to achieve optimal results.
