Pantoprazole Sodium Sesquihydrate Eq. to Panto. (EC) 40mg. + Domperidone (SR) 30mg.
The combination of Pantoprazole Sodium Sesquihydrate (Eq. to Panto. 40mg EC) and Domperidone (SR) 30mg is commonly used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, and other digestive disorders.
- Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the production of stomach acid, helping to relieve symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. The 40mg EC (enteric-coated) formulation ensures the drug is released in the intestine, reducing the risk of stomach irritation.
- Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that works by increasing the motility of the stomach and intestines, promoting the movement of food through the digestive tract, and preventing nausea and vomiting. The SR (sustained-release) formulation allows for a slow and steady release of the drug over time.
This combination helps in relieving symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, nausea, and bloating by reducing stomach acid production and improving gastrointestinal motility. It is typically prescribed for conditions such as GERD, dyspepsia, and delayed gastric emptying.
