What Esomeprazole Domperidone Capsules ?
Esomeprazole Domperidone capsules are a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Esomeprazole and Domperidone.
- Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This can be helpful in treating conditions where excessive stomach acid production leads to problems like acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and other related conditions.
- Domperidone is a medication that helps to regulate the movement of food in the stomach and intestines. It’s primarily used to relieve symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating
Esomeprazole Domperidone Capsules Uses
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): This is a condition where the stomach acid backs up into the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach (esophagus). It can cause symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing.
- Stomach Ulcers and Duodenal Ulcers: Esomeprazole is used in the treatment and prevention of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: This is a rare condition where the stomach produces too much acid. Esomeprazole can be used to manage the excessive acid production.
Esomeprazole Domperidone Capsules- Mechanism of Action and Pharmacology
- Esomeprazole:
- Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by irreversibly inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining (specifically, the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system) that is responsible for producing gastric acid.
- By blocking this pump, esomeprazole reduces the secretion of gastric acid, thereby decreasing the acidity in the stomach.
- Domperidone:
- Domperidone is a dopamine receptor antagonist. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and in the upper end of the digestive system.
