ESOMAC D 40MG TAB

About

Esomac D 40mg Tab is a combination medication primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease, especially when accompanied by nausea or vomiting. It combines Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), with Domperidone, a prokinetic agent. Esomeprazole works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump in the parietal cells of the stomach, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion and promoting healing of acid-related damage. Domperidone, on the other hand, acts as a dopamine antagonist, increasing the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter and accelerating gastric emptying, which helps in reducing reflux and alleviating symptoms like bloating and discomfort. This synergistic action provides comprehensive relief from acid reflux symptoms and associated digestive issues.
