Take this medicine at least 30 mins before food.

Mode of Action of Omez Dsr Strip Of 15 Capsules

How Does It Work?
A pump called the proton pump in the stomach is responsible for the secretion of stomach acids. Omeprazole binds to this proton pump in stomach cells, thus blocking acid secretion.
Domperidone increases the motility of the stomach and intestines so that acid does not reflux back into the food pipe.
