Sompraz D 20 Capsule SR

Product overview
Sompraz D 20 Capsule SR is prescribed for individuals dealing with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition often linked with acid reflux. It eases discomfort such as burning in the chest, stomach irritation, and pain. By lowering the acid levels in the stomach and supporting smooth passage of gas, it provides relief from digestive uneasiness.

This medicine is usually taken before meals on an empty stomach. The exact dose and length of treatment depend on medical advice, and stopping the course too soon may allow symptoms to return. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are using, as interactions may occur.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience loose stools, excess gas, abdominal pain, dryness of mouth, headache, or nausea. These effects are generally short-lived. If dizziness or drowsiness occurs, avoid driving or operating machines. Seek medical advice if any side effect troubles you.

Important precautions
Women who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding should discuss the safety of this medicine with their doctor before starting. Those with serious liver problems must also be cautious so that dosing can be adjusted appropriately. Lifestyle choices like avoiding spicy or oily food, reducing caffeine, and consuming soothing options such as cold milk may support better results.

Therapeutic use
This capsule is mainly given to manage GERD and conditions related to excess stomach acid. It reduces acid formation and provides relief from the pain and irritation caused by reflux. Adopting habits like smaller frequent meals, avoiding lying down right after eating, and maintaining a healthy weight can further improve its effectiveness.

Usage instructions
The capsule should be swallowed whole with water. Do not crush or chew it. Always follow the schedule set by your doctor.

How it works
The formulation combines two active ingredients — Domperidone, which enhances the movement of food through the digestive tract, and Esomeprazole, which blocks excessive acid production in the stomach. Together, they help in controlling acidity, heartburn, and related discomfort.
