OMIP D

Omeprazole (20 mg), Domperidone (10 mg)

This combination medication contains a proton pump inhibitor and antidopaminergic agent, prescribed for ulcers, indigestion, and acid stomach.

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used in the treatment of indigestion, peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and Zollinger-Eliras syndrome.

Domperidone, sold under the brand name Motilium, among others, is a drug used as an antiemetic, gastric prokinetic agent, and galactagogue. It can be taken by mouth or rectum and is available in tablet form, orally disintegrating tablets, suspensions, and suppositories. Domperidone is a medicine that increases the movements or contractions of the stomach and bowel. Domperidone is also used to treat nausea and vomiting due to other medications used to treat Parkinson’s disease. Domperidone is to be given only or under the supervision of your doctor.

Mechanism of Action:

Omeprazole is a selective and irreversible proton pump inhibitor. It suppresses the secretion of stomach acid by specific inhibition of the H + / K + ATPase system found on the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. Because this enzyme system is considered as an acid (proton, or H +) pump within the gastric mucosa, omeprazole will inhibit the final stage of acid production.

Omeprazole will also inhibit both basal and stimulated acid secretion despite stimulation.

Pharmacokinetics :

The absorption of omeprazole occurs in the small intestine and is usually completed within 3–6 hours. The systemic bioavailability of omeprazole after repeated doses is approximately 60%.

Omeprazole is fully metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, primarily in the liver. The identified metabolites are sulfone, sulfide, and hydroxy-omeprazole, which have no significant effect on secretion. About 80% of the orally administered dose is excreted in the urine in the form of metabolites and the rest is found in feces, mainly arising from bile secretion.

Domperidone is a peripheral specific inhibitor of dopamine receptors. It is administered orally, or internally. Domperidone is given to relieve nausea and vomiting; To increase the infection of food through the stomach, and lactation by the release of prolactin.

Mechanism of Action: 

Domperidone is a peripheral dopamine (D2) and (D3) receptor, antagonist. It relieves nausea by blocking receptors in the chemo-receptor-triggered zone.

Pharmacokinetics:

Oral absorption of domperidone is found to be 46.5%. The distribution volume is found to be 5.7l / Kg and plasma protein binding 91–93%. Presystemic metabolism has been noted to be 85% and metabolism has been reported extensively by the liver and intestine. Renal excretion is predominant 31% and 66% in feces and plasma half-life is 12–16 hr (oral), 7.5 hr (parenteral).
