Domperidone, Ranitidine

Domperidone and Ranitidine is a combination medication used to treat symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), such as heartburn and indigestion. Domperidone, an antiemetic agent, helps to alleviate nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain. On the other hand, Ranitidine, a histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonist, works by reducing the production of stomach acid, thereby reducing the severity and frequency of GERD symptoms.
This medication is typically prescribed for short-term use and should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage to avoid potential side effects, such as diarrhea, dizziness, and headache. Patients with a history of heart problems should use this medication with caution, as Domperidone may have an effect on cardiac electrical activity.
