PANTOMERIT DSR CAPSULE 10'S

How PANTOMERIT DSR CAPSULE 10'S Works

• PANTOMERIT DSR CAPSULE 10'S is a powerful medication combining two active ingredients: Pantoprazole and Domperidone. These components work synergistically to provide comprehensive relief from acid reflux, heartburn, and other symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers.
• Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is the cornerstone of PANTOMERIT DSR CAPSULE 10'S. PPIs like Pantoprazole directly address the root cause of acid-related issues: excessive acid production in the stomach. Specialized cells in the stomach lining, known as parietal cells, are responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid, which aids in digestion. Pantoprazole selectively binds to and inhibits the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system, often referred to as the 'proton pump,' located on these parietal cells. By blocking this proton pump, Pantoprazole effectively reduces the amount of acid released into the stomach. This reduction in acid helps to heal existing ulcers, prevents new ulcers from forming, and alleviates the discomfort caused by acid reflux. The sustained release (SR) formulation ensures that Pantoprazole is released gradually, providing long-lasting acid control throughout the day and night. This once-daily dosing regimen simplifies medication management and promotes better patient compliance.
• Domperidone, the second key ingredient in PANTOMERIT DSR CAPSULE 10'S, is a prokinetic agent. It primarily addresses the motility-related issues that contribute to GERD and other digestive problems. Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the brain. The CTZ is responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting. By blocking dopamine receptors in this area, Domperidone reduces feelings of nausea and vomiting. More importantly, Domperidone enhances gastric motility. It increases the contractions of the stomach and intestines, which speeds up the emptying of the stomach contents into the small intestine. This accelerated gastric emptying reduces the amount of time that acid remains in the stomach, minimizing the risk of acid reflux. Domperidone also strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscular valve that separates the esophagus from the stomach. A weakened LES can allow stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus, causing heartburn. Domperidone helps to tighten the LES, preventing acid reflux and its associated symptoms.
• In essence, PANTOMERIT DSR CAPSULE 10'S provides a dual-action approach to managing acid-related disorders. Pantoprazole reduces acid production, while Domperidone enhances gastric motility and reduces nausea. This combination effectively controls acid reflux, heals ulcers, and improves overall digestive comfort. The 'DSR' in the name indicates 'Delayed Sustained Release,' ensuring that the medication releases its contents gradually over time for prolonged relief. Always take PANTOMERIT DSR CAPSULE 10'S as prescribed by your doctor.
