Omeshal D Capsules: Relief for Heartburn and Acid Reflux
Omeshal D is a combination medicine used in Nigeria to manage conditions where the stomach produces too much acid. It is particularly effective when acid reflux is accompanied by nausea or a feeling of fullness. Each capsule contains two active ingredients: Omeprazole (20mg) and Domperidone (10mg).
Dual Action for Faster Relief
Omeshal D works in two ways to provide comfort:
- Reduces Stomach Acid: Omeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs). It works by reducing the amount of acid made in your stomach, helping to heal the food pipe (esophagus) and prevent heartburn.
- Speeds Up Digestion: Domperidone is a prokinetic agent. It helps the stomach empty faster and prevents food or acid from flowing back into the esophagus. This helps relieve bloating and nausea.
What is Omeshal D Used For?
In Nigeria, doctors and pharmacists often recommend Omeshal D for:
- GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): Relief from persistent heartburn and acid regurgitation.
- Dyspepsia (Indigestion): Relief from stomach pain, bloating, and gas.
- Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining.
- Nausea and Vomiting: Especially when caused by gastric acidity.
How to Use Omeshal D
- Timing: For best results, take Omeshal D at least 30 minutes before your meal (usually breakfast).
- Dosage: Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the capsule.
- Duration: Follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist.
