Enteric coated Esomeprazole 40 mg and Domperidone Sustained Release (SR) 30 mg capsules are a prescription medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, and functional dyspepsia. This combination relieves symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, and bloating by reducing gastric acid production and increasing upper digestive tract motility. Key Details:
- Composition: Contains 40 mg Esomeprazole (enteric-coated) and 30 mg Domperidone (sustained-release).
- Mechanism: Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases stomach acid, while Domperidone is a prokinetic that accelerates gastrointestinal movement.
- Uses: Used for GERD, non-erosive reflux disease, and peptic ulcers.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
- Precautions: May cause dizziness or drowsiness; not recommended for driving. It should be used with caution in patients with liver or kidney disorders, or pre-existing heart conditions due to potential cardiac, such as QT interval prolongation, and, in very rare cases, cardiovascular issues.
Dosage and Usage:
- Administration: Generally, it is taken on an empty stomach, often before meals, as advised by a doctor.
- Formulation: The enteric coating allows the medicine to bypass the stomach and work in the intestines, while the sustained release provides long-term, round-the-clock symptom control.
