Sompraz D 20mg Strip Of 15 Capsules
Sompraz D 20mg Strip Of 15 Capsules Description
Sompraz D 20 capsule contains a combination of two medicines - Esomeprazole and Domperidone. It is an anti-reflux medicine and is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which does not
respond to esomeprazole medication alone. GERD is a condition in which acid from the stomach comes back up to the food pipe and causes heartburn, belching, nausea, and chest pain. Sompraz D works by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach and improves the mortality in the gut. Thus, it reduces the backflow of stomach content to the food pipe. Take Sompraz D 20 as per the prescribed duration. It should preferably be taken at least an hour before the meal. You may experience headache, dizziness, nausea and diarrhoea as common side effects of Sompraz D 20mg. Most of these are temporary but if you feel the side effects persist or your condition worsens, you should contact your doctor immediately. Sompraz D 20 capsule is not recommended for use in patients below 18 years old.

- Sompraz D is a combination of two components - Esomeprazole and Domperidone and it works via combined action of these components.
- Esomeprazole belongs to the class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. The lining of the stomach secretes acid by certain processes that involve the intake of ions via proton pumps in the cells. Esomeprazole reduces the intake of the ions in the stomach cells that are necessary for the production of digestive acids in the stomach and hence leads to reduced acid production....
