Introduction
Prosac-D 10mg/40mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux), dyspepsia (indigestion), and gastritis. It helps treat these conditions by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, thereby relieving symptoms of acidity such as heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. While effective, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare provider, as long-term use can lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies. Patients should also be aware of potential side effects and consult their doctor if symptoms persist.
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. Prosac-D 10mg/40mg Tablet is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Prosac-D 10mg/40mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic which works on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing the food to move more easily through the stomach. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, helping in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
