Kempra-D Capsule PR is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux). It helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. It also neutralizes the acid in the stomach and promotes easy gas passage to reduce stomach discomfort.
Kempra-D Capsule PR is best taken on an empty stomach. Take it in the dose and duration advised by the doctor. Continue taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early, your symptoms may come back, and your condition may worsen. Let your doctor know about all other medications you are taking, as some may affect, or be affected by, this medicine.
The most common side effects of Kempra-D Capsule PR include diarrhea, flatulence, stomach pain, dryness in the mouth, and headache. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any side effects. It may also cause sleepiness and dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you.
Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. You should also tell your doctor if you have severe liver disease so that your doctor can prescribe a suitable dose for you. Lifestyle modifications like having cold milk and avoiding hot tea, coffee, spicy food, or chocolate can help you get better results.
In Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition in which there is an excess production of acid in the stomach. Kempra-D Capsule PR reduces the amount of acid in your stomach and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective.
Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight; and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.

How Kempra-D Capsule PR works
Kempra-D Capsule PR is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Esomeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that works on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing the food to move more easily through the stomach. 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.
