Introduction
Omecid RD 10mg/20mg Capsule is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by relieving symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. It neutralizes stomach acid and promotes the easy passage of gas to reduce stomach discomfort. The medicine is a combination of Domperidone and Omeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn. Long-term use can cause weak bones and mineral deficiencies, so adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements is recommended. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Omecid RD 10mg/20mg Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach, preferably one hour before a meal.
