Introduction
Pantozip D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is a combination medication used to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia, and gastritis. It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, thereby alleviating symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. The medication combines Domperidone, a prokinetic that enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, and Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production. While effective, it may have 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. Pantozip D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Pantozip D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR 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, relieving acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
