Short Description
Pavocam D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux), dyspepsia (indigestion), and gastritis by reducing stomach acid.

Capsule SR
Introduction
Pavocam D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is a combination medication used to manage 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 decreases stomach acid production. While effective, it is important to use this medication under medical supervision due to potential side effects and interactions with other drugs. Long-term use may lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies, so adequate intake of calcium and magnesium is recommended.
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. Pavocam D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Pavocam D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is a combination of Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach. Pantoprazole reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, helping to relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
