Capsule
Introduction
Vinstom-D 10mg/20mg Capsule is a combination medication used primarily for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and acid reflux. It helps alleviate symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation by neutralizing stomach acid and promoting the easy passage of gas to reduce discomfort. The medication combines Domperidone, a prokinetic that enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, and Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid production. While generally well-tolerated, long-term use may lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Vinstom-D 10mg/20mg Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach, preferably one hour before a meal.
How it works
Vinstom-D 10mg/20mg Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Omeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that works on the upper digestive tract to increase 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

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 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.
