Introduction
Zeloc D 10mg/20mg Capsule is a combination medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its associated symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. It neutralizes stomach acid and promotes the easy passage of gas to reduce discomfort. The medication 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 is recommended. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist after 14 days of use.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Zeloc D 10mg/20mg Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach, preferably one hour before a meal.
How it works
Zeloc D 10mg/20mg 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. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
