How BrandName works
When we eat, our stomach releases acid. In some individuals, this acid is produced in excess, affecting the body’s food pipe (esophagus). To treat this condition, the medicine contains domperidone and omeprazole, which are designed to work together as a team. Omeprazole acts like a band-aid, closing the acid production gate in the stomach, while domperidone increases the downward movement of food. Together, they help reduce excessive acid production in the stomach.
