How Viclar Products work
Domperidone + Omeprazole is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone + Omeprazole1 and Domperidone + Omeprazole2. Domperidone + Omeprazole1 is a prokinetic which works on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing the food to move more easily through the stomach. Domperidone + Omeprazole2 is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
