Introduction
Zidpan-DSR Capsule helps treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux), dyspepsia (indigestion), and gastritis by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach. This alleviates symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult your doctor if symptoms persist. Long-term use may lead to weak bones and mineral deficiencies, so adequate dietary 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. Zidpan-DSR Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach.
How it works
Zidpan-DSR Capsule is a combination of two medicines: 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 Zidpan-DSR Capsule 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 Zidpan-DSR Capsule for 14 days. Long-term use can cause weak bones and a deficiency of minerals such as magnesium. Take 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 do not go to bed immediately after meals.
