Mechanism of Action: Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor, works by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining, specifically the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for the final step in the production of stomach acid. By blocking the activity of this enzyme, omeprazole reduces the secretion of gastric acid into the stomach. Domperidoneis a dopamine receptor antagonist used as a peristaltic stimulant and anti-emetic agent for dyspepsia, indigestion, epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. It provides relief from nausea by blocking receptors at the chemoreceptor trigger zone. Domperidone is a prokinetic which works on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing the food to move more easily through the stomach.
Indications: Omimac-D is used to treat indigestion, heartburn, epigastric pain, peptic ulcers, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
