Omecip-D Capsule

This medication is indicated for treating GERD (Gastro-esophageal reflux disease), which does not respond to Omeprazole medications alone. It prevents the tendency of vomiting and nausea in people suffering from gastrointestinal problems.

Omecip-D Capsule is a combination of Domperidone and Omeprazole. The active ingredients fall under the class of dopamine antagonist and PPI (Proton pump inhibitor), respectively.

It is also prescribed to the patients of peptic ulcer and who take certain medicines for Parkinson’s disease. The medicine tightens the muscles near the entrance of the stomach and relaxes the ones present at the exit.
