Omeprazole works by binding to this proton pump in stomach cells, thus blocking acid secretion. Domperidone works by increasing the motility of the stomach and intestines so that acid does not reflux back into the food pipe.
Domperidone is a specific blocker of dopamine receptors. It speeds gastrointestinal peristalsis, causes prolactin release, and is used as antiemetic and tool in the study of dopaminergic mechanisms. Side effects include galactorrhea, gynecomastia, or menstrual irregularities.
The half-life is less than 1 hour, and omeprazole is almost entirely cleared from plasma within 3-4 hours. Omeprazole is completely metabolized in the liver. The two major plasma metabolites are the sulphone and hydroxyomeprazole, neither of which contributes to the antisecretory activity.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
