Mole D Strip Of 15 Capsules

Mole D capsule is an anti-reflux medicine. It is used to treat gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD). It contains a combination of domperidone and omeprazole.

This capsule is used when the body does not respond to omeprazole therapy alone. Gastrointestinal reflux disease, or GERD, is a condition in which acid from the stomach rises to the food pipe. This backflow of acid irritates the lining of the food pipe and leads to chest pain and heartburn.

This medicine should be taken as directed by the doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed. Take this capsule at least 30 minutes before food. Do not miss any dose or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Other capsules with domperidone and omeprazole include Ocid D Hg , Ocid D Sus , Omizor Dm , Omezil D and Novacid D . Along with taking medicine on time, making certain lifestyle modifications can help to manage your acidity problem better. Try eating smaller meals, eating slowly, avoiding overeating and lying down immediately after having a meal.

Limit your intake of alcohol, avoid smoking and maintain a healthy weight; consult the doctor to understand what works best for you. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding about all the medicines and supplements you take and all the conditions or diseases you suffer from before starting the Mole D capsule.

If you experience any of the symptoms or think you have taken too much of Mole D capsule, then contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

Mode of Action

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.

Directions for Use

It should be taken as a whole with a sufficient amount of water, preferably in the morning before food.
