Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic disease. It is a severe form of acid reflux. When you have frequent episodes of acid reflux (more than twice a week) it may be a sign of GERD.

You may experience sensation of a lump in your throat and have difficulty swallowing.

You may be unable to finish a meal as you feel full just after a few bites. You may also experience nausea and pain or burning sensation in the upper part of your abdomen.

How Esom D Capsule works
Esom D Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Esomeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic which 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) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
