Pantoprazole Gastro Resistant and Domperidone Prolonged Release Capsules IP

Use

Domperidone + Pantoprazole is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux) and peptic ulcer disease.

How it works

Domperidone + Pantoprazole 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 which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

Advice

• You have been prescribed Domperidone + Pantoprazole for the treatment of acidity and heartburn.
• Take it one hour before the meal, preferably in the morning.
• It is a well-tolerated medicine and provides relief for a long time.
• 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 it for 14 days as you may be suffering from some other problem that needs attention.
• Long-term use can cause weak bones and deficiency of minerals such as magnesium. Take adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements as prescribed by your doctor.
