Introduction
Delpen 30mg/40mg Capsule is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux), dyspepsia (indigestion), and gastritis. It helps treat these conditions by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, thereby relieving symptoms of acidity such as heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. While effective, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare provider, as long-term use can lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies. Patients should also be aware of potential side effects and consult their doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Delpen 30mg/40mg Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Delpen 30mg/40mg Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Pantoprazole. 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. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, helping in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking Delpen 30mg/40mg Capsule for 14 days. Long-term use of Delpen 30mg/40mg Capsule can cause weak bones and a deficiency of minerals such as magnesium. Take adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements as prescribed by your doctor. Incorporate lifestyle changes to prevent acidity and heartburn: eat regular meals, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and fatty fried food, lose weight if obese, consider giving up smoking, don't drink too much alcohol, and do not go to bed immediately after a meal.
