Introduction
Prazoric-D Capsule SR is a combination medication used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia, and gastritis. It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, thereby alleviating symptoms like 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, long-term use may lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies. Consult your doctor for appropriate use and potential side effects.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Prazoric-D Capsule SR should be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Prazoric-D Capsule SR combines Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, facilitating easier food passage. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid, relieving acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
Quick Tips
Take Prazoric-D 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 Prazoric-D Capsule SR for 14 days. Long-term use can cause weak bones and mineral deficiencies; ensure adequate intake of calcium and magnesium. Incorporate lifestyle changes to prevent acidity and heartburn: eat regular meals, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and fatty foods, lose weight if obese, quit smoking, limit alcohol intake, and avoid lying down immediately after meals.
