PANTOSEC D TABLET 10'S

How PANTOSEC D TABLET 10'S Works

• PANTOSEC D Tablet 10'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate symptoms of acid reflux and peptic ulcers. It contains two active ingredients: Pantoprazole and Domperidone, each addressing the problem in a unique way. Pantoprazole belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by directly targeting the parietal cells in the stomach lining, which are responsible for producing stomach acid. Pantoprazole irreversibly binds to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system (the 'proton pump'), effectively blocking the final step in acid production. By inhibiting this pump, Pantoprazole significantly reduces the amount of acid released into the stomach. This helps to heal existing ulcers, prevent new ones from forming, and relieve symptoms like heartburn and acid indigestion.
• Domperidone, on the other hand, is a prokinetic agent. It primarily works by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain and in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The CTZ is responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting. By blocking dopamine receptors in this area, Domperidone helps to reduce feelings of nausea and the urge to vomit. In the GI tract, Domperidone enhances motility by increasing the frequency and amplitude of gastric contractions. This accelerates gastric emptying, meaning food moves more quickly from the stomach into the small intestine. This action helps to prevent acid reflux by reducing the amount of time acid remains in the stomach and lessening the likelihood of it backing up into the esophagus.
• The combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone in PANTOSEC D Tablet 10'S provides a dual-action approach to managing acid-related disorders. Pantoprazole reduces acid production, while Domperidone promotes faster gastric emptying and reduces nausea. This synergistic effect helps to provide more complete and effective relief from symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, nausea, and vomiting associated with acid reflux and peptic ulcers. The extended-release formulation of the tablet ensures a prolonged duration of action, providing relief throughout the day and night. It's important to use PANTOSEC D Tablet 10'S as directed by your healthcare provider to achieve the best possible outcome and minimize potential side effects.
