Introduction
Panpol-DSR Capsule 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 medicine 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 (PPI) that reduces stomach acid. While effective, long-term use can lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies. Consult your doctor for proper guidance.
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. Panpol-DSR Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach.
