Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn. Domperidone works by rising the movements and contractions of the stomach muscles. Together, Esomeprazole Magnesium and Domperidone help in treating acidity-related problems.

In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, acidity, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It should not be given to children as safety has not been established.
