Introduction
Crownpan D 10mg/40mg Tablet is a combination medication used to manage 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 (PPI) that decreases stomach acid production. While effective, it is important to use this medication under medical supervision due to potential side effects and interactions with other drugs. Long-term use may lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Crownpan D 10mg/40mg Tablet is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Crownpan D 10mg/40mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that works on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
