PANTODAC DSR CAPSULE 15'S

How PANTODAC DSR CAPSULE 15'S Works

• PANTODAC DSR CAPSULE 15'S is a combination medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach and promoting the movement of food through the digestive system. This helps to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and stomach pain.
• The capsule contains two active ingredients: Pantoprazole and Domperidone. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by blocking the enzyme responsible for producing stomach acid. Specifically, it inhibits the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. By blocking this enzyme, Pantoprazole effectively reduces the production of stomach acid, providing relief from acid-related symptoms and promoting the healing of ulcers.
• Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that increases the movement of food through the stomach and intestines. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the upper digestive tract, which helps to accelerate gastric emptying and reduce nausea and vomiting. This action helps to prevent acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
• When taken together, Pantoprazole and Domperidone provide a comprehensive approach to managing GERD and peptic ulcers. Pantoprazole reduces acid production, while Domperidone promotes the movement of food through the digestive system, preventing acid reflux and relieving symptoms. The combined effect offers enhanced symptom relief and improved healing outcomes compared to using either medication alone.
