BENEFITS:
- Effective Acid Control: Reduces stomach acid production, providing relief from acid reflux, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
- Enhanced Gastric Emptying: Promotes faster gastric emptying, reducing symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and bloating.
- Long-lasting Relief: Provides sustained relief from gastrointestinal symptoms due to the combination of esomeprazole and domperidone.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Esomeprazole: A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that blocks the final step of acid production in the stomach, reducing overall acid levels and promoting healing of the gastric lining.
- Domperidone: A dopamine antagonist that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping to move food through the stomach more quickly and preventing nausea and vomiting.
