Description
Esomeprazole+domperidone is a combination of Esomeprazole and Domperidone that helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the action of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase, also known as the gastric proton pump), thus preventing the release of stomach acid and relieving symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as dry mouth, stomach pain, diarrhoea, headache, and flatulence. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve over time. However, if you experience these side effects persistently, talk to your doctor.
Take Esomeprazole+domperidone as advised. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. You should take Esomeprazole+domperidone 30 minutes before food. It is recommended not to exceed the recommended dose of Esomeprazole+domperidone. Do not chew, crush, or break the medicine.
Inform your physician if you are allergic to Esomeprazole+domperidone. Consult your doctor before taking Esomeprazole+domperidone if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Esomeprazole+domperidone may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Esomeprazole+domperidone should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol and Esomeprazole+domperidone as it could lead to increased drowsiness and elevate stomach acid production.
