Introduction
Pentaluc LS 75mg/40mg Capsule is a medication designed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. It works by alleviating symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. The medicine neutralizes stomach acid and facilitates the easy passage of gas, thereby reducing 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 for any persistent side effects.

How it works
Pentaluc LS 75mg/40mg Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Levosulpiride and Pantoprazole. Levosulpiride works by increasing the movement of the stomach and intestines, while Pantoprazole reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
