Dompraz Capsule belongs to the class of drugs known as Proton pump inhibitors, which reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces. It treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour), duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and Crohn’s disease-associated ulcers.

Dompraz Capsule helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the action of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase, also known as the gastric proton pump), thus preventing the release of stomach acid and relieving symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Not everyone who is taking Dompraz Capsule will get these side effects. Dompraz Capsule may have common side effects, such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, dizziness, and joint pain. These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own over time. However, if these side effects persist, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.

Take Dompraz Capsule as advised. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. You should take Dompraz Capsule 30 minutes before food. It is recommended not to exceed the recommended dose of Dompraz Capsule. Do not chew, crush, or break the medicine.

Inform your physician if you are allergic to Dompraz Capsule. Tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, are allergic to Dompraz Capsule or will have an endoscopy in the future. Prolonged intake of Dompraz Capsule may cause a deficiency of Vitamin B12 and low levels of calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D, leading to osteoporosis. Dompraz Capsule is not recommended for children below 5 years of age. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
