Esomeprazole + Domperidone
Description:
Sompraz D 20mg Tablet is a combination medication used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), particularly when associated with upper gastrointestinal motility issues such as nausea, vomiting, and delayed gastric emptying.
Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), reduces stomach acid production, alleviating symptoms like heartburn and acid regurgitation, and promoting the healing of any esophageal damage. Domperidone is a dopamine receptor antagonist that acts as a prokinetic agent, enhancing the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, thereby reducing feelings of fullness and nausea.
The combined action of esomeprazole and domperidone in Sompraz D 20mg provides a dual approach to managing GERD and associated dyspeptic symptoms. It is typically prescribed to be taken once or twice daily, ideally before meals.
Common side effects related to esomeprazole may include headache, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Domperidone can cause side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, and potentially affect heart rhythm in susceptible individuals or at higher doses, necessitating careful use as directed by a physician. Long-term use of PPIs may carry certain risks, and the duration of treatment should be guided by clinical assessment.
