How it works:
• OMEZ DSR PLUS is a medicine that helps reduce stomach acid and heal ulcers.
  
  Omeprazole: This is the main ingredient. It works by blocking the pumps in your stomach cells that produce acid. Think of it like turning off a tap – less acid is made, leading to less heartburn and allowing ulcers to heal.
  
  Domperidone: This ingredient helps your stomach empty more efficiently. It speeds up the movement of food from your stomach to your intestines. This can help relieve symptoms like nausea and vomiting that are sometimes associated with excess stomach acid.
  
  Combination effect: Omeprazole reduces the amount of acid your stomach produces, while domperidone helps move food through your digestive system more smoothly. Together, they work to relieve symptoms of acidity and related problems.
