Omidom 10 mg/20 mg Capsule is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux) by relieving the symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. Omidom 10 mg/20 mg Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Omeprazole. 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. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
