Introduction
Pantof DSR 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. The medicine is a combination of two drugs: Domperidone, which increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, and Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid. While effective, it may cause side effects and should be used under medical supervision, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
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. Pantof DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Pantof DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that works on the upper digestive tract to increase 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.
Quick Tips
Take Pantof DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule one hour before the meal, preferably in the morning. Inform your doctor if you get watery diarrhea, fever, or stomach pain that does not go away. Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking Pantof DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule for 14 days. Long-term use 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, quit smoking, limit alcohol intake, and do not go to bed immediately after meals.
