Esomeprazol & Domperidone Capsules

50mg Esomeprazol & Domperidone Capsules combine two medications used to treat different aspects of gastrointestinal issues. Here's a detailed overview of each component and how they work together:

Esomeprazole

Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production. It's commonly used to treat:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Helps reduce acid reflux and heartburn by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
• Peptic Ulcers: Helps heal and prevent ulcers in the stomach and small intestine by reducing stomach acid.
• Erosive Esophagitis: Caused by acid reflux, and esomeprazole helps heal the esophagus lining.
• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: A condition where the stomach produces too much acid.

Mechanism of Action: Esomeprazole works by inhibiting the proton pumps in the stomach lining, which are responsible for secreting gastric acid. This leads to a reduction in overall acid levels in the stomach.

Domperidone

Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that helps with gastrointestinal motility. It's used to treat:

• Nausea and Vomiting: Helps relieve symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
• Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders: Helps in cases where the stomach and intestines are not moving properly (e.g., slow gastric emptying).

Mechanism of Action: Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the gut, which enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, promoting faster gastric emptying and reducing nausea.
