Domperidone can be classed as an anti-sickness medication. It belongs to a group of drugs named dopamine-2 receptor antagonists. This inhibition of dopamine receptors in our body allows it to act as a prokinetic (medicines that increase the speed of food passage in the digestive system) and an antiemetic agent (medicines that reduce nausea and vomiting).

Pantoprazole is classed as a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI). It suppresses the final step in gastric acid production by binding to a specific enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric glands. This leads to a reduction of both natural and stimulated acid production in the stomach for more than 24 hours. This pharmaceutical effect is what enables this medicine to treat people with GERD and peptic ulcers. It controls acidity and prevents symptoms like heartburn and stomach pain.
