PTOL DSR CAPSULE 10'S

How PTOL DSR CAPSULE 10'S Works

• PTOL DSR Capsule 10's is a combination medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer by relieving the symptoms of acidity such as heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. It also neutralizes the acid produced in the stomach and promotes easy passage of gas to reduce stomach discomfort.
• This capsule works through a dual-action mechanism involving Pantoprazole and Domperidone. Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It specifically targets the proton pumps in the stomach lining, which are responsible for acid secretion. By blocking these pumps, pantoprazole effectively lowers the acidity levels in the stomach, providing relief from acid-related symptoms.
• Domperidone, on the other hand, is a prokinetic agent. It works by increasing the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more quickly through the digestive system. This action helps to prevent acid from flowing back into the esophagus, further reducing heartburn and acid reflux. Domperidone also helps to relieve nausea and vomiting often associated with GERD and peptic ulcers.
• The synergistic effect of Pantoprazole and Domperidone in PTOL DSR Capsule 10's provides comprehensive relief from GERD and peptic ulcer symptoms. By reducing acid production and promoting gastric motility, this medicine effectively addresses the underlying causes of these conditions. It is important to take PTOL DSR Capsule 10's as prescribed by your doctor to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of side effects.
• Specifically, Pantoprazole inhibits the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system (the proton pump) of the gastric parietal cell, thereby suppressing gastric acid secretion. Domperidone blocks dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and the upper gastrointestinal tract, speeding gastric emptying and increasing lower esophageal sphincter pressure. This coordination leads to a reduction in acid reflux and associated discomfort.
