Ometime-DSR Capsules

Ometime-DSR is a combination medication containing Omeprazole (EC) and Domperidone (SR), designed to manage gastrointestinal issues related to excessive acid production and motility.

Key Components

• Omeprazole (20mg): A Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. The “EC” stands for Enteric-Coated, which ensures the medication survives stomach acid to be absorbed in the intestine.

• Domperidone (30mg): A prokinetic agent that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food move more easily through the digestive system. The “SR” stands for Sustained Release, providing a steady effect over a longer period.

Primary Uses

This medication is typically prescribed for:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Relieving “heartburn” caused by acid flowing back into the esophagus.

• Peptic Ulcers: Assisting in the healing of sores in the stomach or intestinal lining.

• Dyspepsia: Treating indigestion, bloating, and feelings of fullness.

• Nausea and Vomiting: Often associated with acid reflux or other gastric triggers.

Usage & Safety

Important: This medication should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

• When to take: Usually recommended to be taken on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes before a meal (typically breakfast).

• Common Side Effects: May include headache, dry mouth, stomach pain, or diarrhea.

• Precautions: Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver issues, or if you have any heart-related conditions, as Domperidone can affect heart rhythm in some patients.
