PANTIN D CAPSULE 10'S

How PANTIN D CAPSULE 10'S Works

• PANTIN D CAPSULE 10'S is a combination medication designed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. It contains two active ingredients: Pantoprazole and Domperidone, each working through distinct mechanisms to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
• Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It functions by selectively blocking the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system, also known as the proton pump, located in the parietal cells of the stomach lining. These parietal cells are responsible for producing stomach acid, which is crucial for digestion but can also cause irritation and damage to the esophagus and stomach lining in conditions like GERD and ulcers. By inhibiting the proton pump, Pantoprazole effectively reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This reduction in acid helps to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. It also creates a less acidic environment in the stomach, which promotes the healing of ulcers and prevents further erosion of the esophageal lining.
• Domperidone, on the other hand, is a prokinetic agent and works by increasing the movement of food through the digestive tract. It achieves this by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) located in the brain, as well as in the gastrointestinal tract. The CTZ is responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting. By blocking dopamine receptors in this area, Domperidone reduces feelings of nausea and prevents vomiting. Furthermore, Domperidone enhances gastric emptying by increasing the peristaltic movements in the stomach and intestines. This means that food is moved more quickly from the stomach into the small intestine, reducing the feeling of fullness, bloating, and discomfort. The increased gastric emptying also helps to prevent acid reflux by reducing the amount of time that food and acid remain in the stomach.
• The combined action of Pantoprazole and Domperidone addresses both the cause and the symptoms of GERD and peptic ulcers. Pantoprazole reduces acid production, while Domperidone promotes gastric emptying and reduces nausea and vomiting. This synergistic effect provides more effective relief than either medication could achieve alone. By reducing acid, PANTIN D CAPSULE 10'S protects the esophagus and stomach lining from further damage, allowing them to heal. By promoting gastric emptying, it reduces the likelihood of acid reflux and associated symptoms. This dual-action approach makes PANTIN D CAPSULE 10'S a valuable treatment option for individuals suffering from GERD, peptic ulcers, and related gastrointestinal disorders.
