Medical Description
Sompraz D 40 capsule is a combination medication containing domperidone and esomeprazole. It is used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that does not respond to esomeprazole alone. It works by reducing the production of digestive acids and increasing the motility of the stomach and intestines.
Sompraz D 40 capsule should be taken as directed by the doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed. It should be taken at least an hour before the meal as prescribed by your doctor.
While taking this medicine, avoid consuming food that can increase your acidity, avoid lying down after a meal, and take your last meal at least two hours before your bedtime. Consult the doctor to understand what works best for you.
Along with taking medicine on time, certain lifestyle modifications can help you manage your acidity problem better. Try eating smaller meals, eating slowly to avoid overeating, and lying down immediately after having a meal. Limit your intake of alcohol, avoid smoking, and maintain a healthy weight. Nexpro Rd 40mg capsule, Esmetru D capsule, Esogress D 40mg capsule, Raciper D capsule, and Es Omepraz Dsr capsule are some other medications with domperidone and esomeprazole.
