DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat acidity, heartburn and gas. The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity and heartburn. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air.
DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE contains Domperidone (prokinetic), Magaldrate (antacid), and Simethicone (anti-flatulent). Domperidone allows the food to move easily by increasing the movements of the stomach and intestine. Magaldrate works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone works by lowering the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Together, DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE helps in treating acidity, heartburn and gas.
Take DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE as prescribed. You are advised to take DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as constipation, diarrhoea, bad taste, and dry mouth. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Avoid taking aluminium and magnesium-containing antacids with DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE. Aluminium-containing antacids, along with DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE could lead to constipation and intestinal obstruction, whereas magnesium-containing antacids might cause diarrhoea. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE may cause sleepiness, so drive with caution. DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE is not recommended for use in children. Avoid consuming alcohol along with DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE as it could lead to increased acidity.
Acidity, heartburn, gas
DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE is a combination of three drugs: Domperidone, Magaldrate, and Simethicone. DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat acidity, heartburn, and gas. Domperidone is a prokinetic that allows food to move easily by increasing the movements of the stomach and intestine. Magaldrate is an antacid that works by neutralising excess stomach acid. Simethicone is an anti-flatulent that works by lowering the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Together, DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE helps in treating acidity, heartburn and gas.
Do not take DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE if you are allergic to any of its contents; if you have bleeding problems, blockage in intestines, a tumour of the pituitary gland, phenylketonuria, or high potassium levels in the blood. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart, liver or kidney problems; if you are on a low-magnesium diet, or if you have undergone recent bowel surgery. Avoid taking aluminium and magnesium-containing antacids with DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE. Aluminium-containing antacids with DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE could lead to constipation and intestinal obstruction, whereas magnesium-containing antacids might cause diarrhoea. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE may cause sleepiness, so drive with caution. DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE is not recommended for children.
Drug-Drug Interactions: DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE may interact with pain killers (aspirin), anti-hypertensive (ramipril), hormones (levothyroxine), anti-convulsant (phenytoin), antacids (aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide), anti-fungal (ketoconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole), antibiotics (erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin, moxifloxacin, pentamidine), anti-depressant (escitalopram, citalopram).
Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found/established.
Drug-Disease Interactions: Inform your doctor if you have bleeding problems, blockage in the intestines, a tumour of the pituitary gland, phenylketonuria, or high potassium levels in the blood.
Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE as it may lead to increased sleepiness. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.
Please consult your doctor before taking DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE if you are pregnant. Your doctor will prescribe DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE only if the benefits outweigh the risks.
Consult your doctor before taking DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE; your doctor will decide whether DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE can be taken by breastfeeding mothers or not.
DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE may cause sleepiness. Drive or operate machinery only if you are alert.
Dose adjustment may be needed. Consult your doctor before taking DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE if you have a liver impairment or any concerns regarding this.
Dose adjustment may be needed. Consult your doctor before taking DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE if you have kidney impairment or any concerns regarding this.
DOMPERIDONE+MAGALDRATE+SIMETHICONE is not recommended for use in children. Please consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air. Flatulence occurs when gas collects inside the digestive system.
