Sompraz D 40 Capsule SR

Overview
Sompraz D 40 Capsule SR is prescribed for individuals dealing with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. This condition often leads to symptoms such as heartburn, stomach irritation, and abdominal pain. By reducing the production of stomach acid and assisting with smooth passage of gas, the medicine helps ease digestive discomfort.

How it should be taken
The capsule is usually consumed on an empty stomach. The dosage and duration depend on your doctor’s recommendation. Treatment should not be stopped suddenly, as symptoms may return or worsen. Always inform your doctor about other medicines you are taking to avoid possible interactions.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience loose stools, gas, abdominal cramps, dryness in the mouth, nausea, headache, or mild dizziness. These effects are mostly temporary and settle on their own. If you feel unusually drowsy or lightheaded, avoid driving or using heavy machinery. Seek medical attention if any effect persists or becomes troublesome.

Precautions to consider
Inform your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding. Patients with serious liver problems should be cautious so that the dose can be adjusted if required. Along with treatment, lifestyle changes like avoiding caffeine, spicy food, and chocolate, as well as having smaller meals and drinking cold milk, may improve results.

Therapeutic role
This medicine is mainly used to control GERD and acid-related conditions. It works by lowering stomach acid levels, reducing burning sensations, and providing relief from reflux-related pain. Long-term benefits are often achieved when combined with healthy dietary and lifestyle habits.

How it works
The capsule combines Domperidone and Esomeprazole. Domperidone improves the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, easing digestion. Esomeprazole blocks excess acid production, thereby reducing acidity and heartburn. Together, they help manage reflux more effectively.
