Product Introduction
Esogress D Capsule is a combination medication belonging to the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and dopamine antagonists category, containing the active ingredients esomeprazole and domperidone. This medicine treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (in which stomach acid and contents flow back into the esophagus), peptic ulcers (a sore or erosion that forms on the stomach lining), and nausea and vomiting. This medicine is contraindicated in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or QT prolongation, or in those taking medications that prolong the QT interval. This may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, or vision changes in some individuals. If these effects occur, avoiding activities requiring alertness, such as driving, cycling, or operating machinery, is important until you feel better. Long-term use of this medicine may result in low magnesium levels in the body (hypomagnesemia). Symptoms of low magnesium levels include fatigue, muscle spasms or weakness, irregular heartbeat, and seizures. If you develop any of these symptoms, notify your doctor immediately. It is necessary to discuss using Esogress D Capsule with your physician if you are pregnant, suspecting pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Uses
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Peptic Ulcer Treats Nausea and Vomiting
How it works
Esomeprazole works by irreversibly binding to the proton pump and inhibiting its function. By doing so, it blocks the final step of acid production. Specifically, this drug inhibits the enzyme's ability to transport hydrogen ions (protons) into the stomach, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion. Domperidone enhances the movement and contractions of the stomach and intestines. It helps to improve gastrointestinal motility and facilitates the food to pass through the digestive part.
How to Use
Take the Esogress d tablet as your physician advises. Usually, the capsule will be taken with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or open the medicine. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition. Only stop taking the capsule if your doctor advises you to stop.
