The medication combines Domperidone, a prokinetic that enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, and Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases stomach acid production. While effective, it may have side effects and should be used under medical supervision, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
