PANUM D CAPSULE 10'S

How PANUM D CAPSULE 10'S Works

• PANUM D CAPSULE 10'S is a combination medicine that contains two active ingredients: Pantoprazole and Domperidone. These components work synergistically to alleviate symptoms of acid reflux and peptic ulcers, providing comprehensive relief.
• Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It functions by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Specifically, it inhibits the enzyme H+/K+-ATPase, also known as the proton pump, which is responsible for the final step of acid production in the gastric parietal cells. By blocking this pump, pantoprazole effectively decreases gastric acid secretion. This helps to heal existing ulcers, prevent new ulcers from forming, and relieve symptoms such as heartburn and acid indigestion. Pantoprazole's action is long-lasting, providing sustained relief from acid-related conditions.
• Domperidone is a prokinetic agent and antiemetic. It primarily works by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the brain, which reduces nausea and vomiting. Additionally, domperidone enhances the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. It increases the contractions of the stomach and intestines, facilitating the faster emptying of the stomach contents into the small intestine. This action helps to prevent acid reflux by reducing the amount of time acid remains in the stomach. By accelerating gastric emptying, domperidone also reduces feelings of bloating and fullness after meals.
• When combined, pantoprazole reduces acid production, while domperidone promotes faster gastric emptying and reduces nausea. This dual action provides more effective relief compared to using either medication alone. PANUM D CAPSULE 10'S is particularly useful for individuals experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and other acid-related conditions where both acid reduction and improved gastric motility are needed. The synergistic effect ensures that the underlying causes of the symptoms are addressed, leading to improved patient outcomes.
