Introduction
Pantcap L 75mg/40mg Capsule SR is a combination medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by alleviating symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. It works by neutralizing stomach acid and promoting the easy passage of gas to reduce discomfort. While it is generally well-tolerated, long-term use may lead to weak or broken bones, so adequate intake of dietary calcium and vitamin D is recommended. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor if any severe side effects occur.
Directions for Use

How it works
Pantcap L 75mg/40mg Capsule SR is a combination of two medicines: Levosulpiride and Pantoprazole. Levosulpiride increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, facilitating the passage of food through the stomach. Pantoprazole reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, providing relief from acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
Quick Tips
