How it works

A proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It switches off the acid pumps in the stomach lining, cutting acid by up to 90 percent, which lets ulcers and an inflamed food pipe heal.

Domperidone

Anti-nausea, gut motility

What it is used for

How it works

It blocks dopamine in the gut and in the vomiting centre, so food moves through the stomach faster and nausea eases. Often paired with a PPI.
