How it works:
Domperidone: Dopamine D2 receptor antagonist; increases gastric motility and accelerates stomach emptying; blocks nausea/vomiting signals in brain.
Omeprazole: Proton pump inhibitor; blocks H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in stomach lining → reduces acid production and allows healing of ulcers/reflux symptoms.

Medicine interaction:
CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, erythromycin, itraconazole): ↑ Domperidone levels → arrhythmia risk.
Clopidogrel: Omeprazole may reduce effectiveness.
Anticoagulants (warfarin), phenytoin, diazepam: Omeprazole may increase levels.
Other QT-prolonging drugs: Caution with Domperidone.
Always inform your doctor about all other medicines, supplements, or herbal products.
