Introduction
Omiget-D 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 capsule contains Domperidone, a prokinetic that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, and Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production. While generally well-tolerated, long-term use may lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Omiget-D Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach, preferably one hour before a meal.
How it works
Omiget-D Capsule 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 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.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Omiget-D Capsule for the treatment of acidity and heartburn. Take it one hour before the meal, preferably in the morning. It is a well-tolerated medicine and provides relief for a long time. Inform your doctor if you get watery diarrhea, fever, or stomach pain that does not go away. Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking it for 14 days. 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.
