Introduction
Latop D 10 mg/40 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia, and gastritis. It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, thereby relieving symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. The medication combines two active ingredients: Domperidone, which increases 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.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Latop D 10 mg/40 mg Tablet should be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Latop D 10 mg/40 mg Tablet is a combination of Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
