Introduction
Goodprazole D 10/20 Tablet 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. It is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that increases 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. While effective, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare provider due to potential side effects and interactions with other drugs.
