Medical Description

OD capsule is an anti-reflux medicine and is used to treat gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD). This medicine is used when it does not respond to omeprazole therapy alone. GERD is a condition where acid from the stomach comes up to the food pipe. This backflow of acid irritates the lining of the food pipe and leads to chest pain and heartburn. OD capsule contains a combination of domperidone and omeprazole. It should be taken as directed by the doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed. Take this medicine at least 30 mins before food.

Uses
