Omiraj-D Capsule is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux) by relieving symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. Omiraj-D Capsule is a combination medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and related symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. It works by neutralizing stomach acid and promoting the easy passage of gas to reduce discomfort. The medication is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as watery diarrhea, fever, or persistent stomach pain. Long-term use can lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies, so adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements is recommended. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist after 14 days of use.
Omiraj-D Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Omeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
