Introduction
Absorpan DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule is a combination medication used to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia, and gastritis. It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, thereby alleviating symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. The medication combines Domperidone, a prokinetic that enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, and Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid. While effective, it may have side effects and should be used under medical supervision, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How it works
Absorpan DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule is a combination of Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily. Pantoprazole reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
