NUPENTA DSR CAPSULE 15'S

How NUPENTA DSR CAPSULE 15'S Works

• NUPENTA DSR CAPSULE 15'S is a combination medication designed to treat gastrointestinal issues, primarily focusing on acid reflux and peptic ulcers. It combines two active ingredients: Pantoprazole and Domperidone, each addressing different aspects of these conditions to provide comprehensive relief.
• Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is the cornerstone of NUPENTA DSR's mechanism. PPIs work by directly reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Specialized cells in the stomach lining, called parietal cells, are responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid, which aids in digestion. Pantoprazole selectively binds to and inhibits the enzyme H+/K+-ATPase, also known as the proton pump, located on these parietal cells. By blocking this pump, Pantoprazole effectively decreases the production of stomach acid. This reduction in acidity helps to heal existing ulcers, prevents new ulcers from forming, and alleviates symptoms associated with acid reflux, such as heartburn and regurgitation.
• Domperidone, the second key ingredient, is a prokinetic agent and works to enhance gastric motility. It primarily functions by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain and in the gastrointestinal tract. By blocking dopamine receptors in the CTZ, Domperidone reduces nausea and vomiting. In the gastrointestinal tract, Domperidone increases the contractions of the stomach and intestines, thereby accelerating gastric emptying. This means that food moves more quickly from the stomach into the small intestine. This action is particularly beneficial in treating conditions where delayed gastric emptying contributes to symptoms like bloating, fullness, and acid reflux. By speeding up gastric emptying, Domperidone also reduces the amount of time that acid remains in the stomach, further minimizing the risk of acid reflux and esophageal irritation.
• The synergistic action of Pantoprazole and Domperidone in NUPENTA DSR CAPSULE 15'S addresses both the cause and the symptoms of acid reflux and peptic ulcers. Pantoprazole reduces acid production, while Domperidone promotes faster gastric emptying and reduces nausea. This dual approach provides more effective relief compared to using either medication alone. By reducing acid and improving gastric motility, NUPENTA DSR helps to heal the gastrointestinal lining, prevent further damage, and alleviate the discomfort associated with these conditions. Patients typically experience relief from heartburn, regurgitation, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort, leading to improved quality of life.

• Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking, as NUPENTA DSR CAPSULE 15'S can interact with other drugs, potentially altering their effects. Special caution should be taken with blood thinners like warfarin.
• If you experience persistent side effects such as headaches, diarrhea, or stomach pain, consult your doctor. While these side effects are usually mild and temporary, they could indicate an underlying issue that requires medical attention. If you develop allergic reaction with symptoms like rashes, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing seek immediate medical attention.
• Lifestyle modifications can significantly improve the effectiveness of NUPENTA DSR CAPSULE 15'S. Consider avoiding trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or acidic), reduce alcohol and caffeine intake, and quit smoking. Elevate the head of your bed while sleeping to further reduce acid reflux, and maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. These changes will give additional relief to your acid reflux and help medication work better.

• NUPENTA DSR CAPSULE 15'S should be taken on an empty stomach, preferably 30 minutes before a meal. Food can decrease the absorption of the medication, reducing its effectiveness. Avoid taking it with or immediately after food.
