1. Product Introduction:
- ACILOC RD 20MG TABLET is a combination medication that includes two active ingredients:
- Domperidone (10mg): A prokinetic agent that helps regulate gastrointestinal motility, particularly by increasing the movement of the stomach and intestines.
- Omeprazole (20mg): A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining.
ACILOC RD 20MG TABLET is taken without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.
Most common side effects are diarrhea, stomach pain, dryness in mouth, headache, and flatulence. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any side effects. It may also cause dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can worsen your dizziness. Lifestyle modifications like having cold milk and avoiding hot tea, coffee, spicy food or chocolate can help you to get better results.
Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. You should also tell your doctor if you have liver diseases so that your doctor can prescribe a suitable dose for you.
