Omez-D SR+ Capsule

Introduction

Omez-D SR+ Capsule is a combination medication used primarily for managing acid-related digestive disorders. It combines two active ingredients: Omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) and Domperidone (a prokinetic agent). This combination helps in reducing stomach acid production while improving gastric motility. Omez-D SR+ Capsule is commonly used for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and other conditions associated with excess stomach acid.
