Introduction
Pdom 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is a combination medication used to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia (indigestion), 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. Pdom 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Pdom 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 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 Pdom 30mg/40mg Capsule SR 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 Pdom 30mg/40mg Capsule SR for 14 days. Long-term use can cause weak bones and a deficiency of minerals such as magnesium. Ensure 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 avoid lying down immediately after meals.
