What is Omefast Plus (New)?
Omefast Plus (New) is a specialized gastrointestinal medication designed to provide dual-action relief from symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), acid reflux, and functional dyspepsia. It is a reformulated version of the trusted Omefast brand, specifically targeting stomach motility and acid suppression.
Omefast Plus (New) Uses and Benefits
Unlike the standard Omefast Combi Kit used for H. pylori, the Omefast Plus (New) formulation is primarily used for:
- Acid Reflux & Heartburn: Rapidly reduces stomach acid production for fast relief.
- Bloating & Early Fullness: Helps move food through the stomach more efficiently, reducing that "heavy" feeling.
- Nausea & Vomiting: Effective for managing stomach-related nausea.
- GERD Management: Provides long-lasting relief for chronic acid reflux symptoms.
How Omeprazole and Domperidone Work
Omefast Plus (New) contains two active ingredients:
- Omeprazole (PPI): A proton pump inhibitor that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
- Domperidone (Prokinetic): A prokinetic agent that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, preventing acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
Dosage: How to take Omefast Plus (New)
For best results, Omefast Plus (New) should be taken as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
- When to take: It is typically recommended to take the capsule 30 to 60 minutes before a meal.
- How to take: Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush or chew it.
- Consistency: Follow the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve quickly.
Omefast Plus (New) vs Omefast Plus Combi Kit
It is common to confuse these two. The Omefast Plus (New) is a dual-ingredient capsule for reflux and bloating. The Omefast Plus Combi Kit is a triple-therapy treatment (containing antibiotics) specifically used to treat H. pylori infections and stomach ulcers. Always check your prescription to ensure you have the correct version.
