Pantoprazole and Domperidone SR Capsules (40mg + 30mg) are a combination medication manufactured by Matsyacare Pvt Ltd. This formulation is designed to provide effective relief from gastrointestinal conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other related disorders.
Product Overview
- Pantoprazole (40mg): A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is used to treat conditions like acid reflux, GERD, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
- Domperidone SR (30mg): A selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist that enhances gastrointestinal motility and accelerates gastric emptying, helping to relieve symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
Benefits
- Effective Acid Control: Pantoprazole significantly reduces stomach acid production, providing relief from heartburn and acid reflux.
- Enhanced Motility: Domperidone improves gastrointestinal motility, aiding in the management of nausea, vomiting, and bloating.
- Sustained Release: The sustained release (SR) formulation ensures a gradual release of the medication, providing prolonged therapeutic effects and better symptom control.
Usage and Dosage
- Recommended Dosage: The typical dosage is one capsule per day, taken before a meal. However, the exact dosage and duration should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s condition.
- Administration: Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the capsule as this can affect the sustained release mechanism.
