Introduction
Omep D 10mg/20mg Capsule is a combination medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and related symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. It works by neutralizing stomach acid and promoting the easy passage of gas to reduce discomfort. The medicine is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as watery diarrhea, fever, or persistent stomach pain. Long-term use can lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies, so adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements may be necessary. Always consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Omep D 10mg/20mg Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach, preferably one hour before a meal.
How it works
Omep D 10mg/20mg Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Omeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking it for 14 days as you may be suffering from some other problem that needs attention. Long-term use can cause weak bones and deficiency of minerals such as magnesium. Take adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements as prescribed by your doctor.
