Ganaton Total Capsule SR

Ganaton Total Capsule SR – Product Overview

Ganaton Total Capsule SR is a combination medicine used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and functional dyspepsia. It helps reduce stomach acid, relieves heartburn, and improves digestion by enhancing the movement of food through the stomach and intestines. This dual action makes it effective in treating symptoms such as acid reflux, bloating, stomach pain, and discomfort.

How It Works

This medication contains two active ingredients:

• Pantoprazole: A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that lowers the production of stomach acid, providing relief from acid-related symptoms.

• Itopride: A prokinetic agent that boosts the movement of the digestive tract and also helps control nausea by acting on the brain’s vomiting center.

Together, these ingredients provide effective symptom relief and support healthy digestion.

Usage Instructions

Take Ganaton Total Capsule SR on an empty stomach, usually before meals. Swallow the capsule whole with water—do not crush, chew, or break it. Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dose and duration. Do not stop treatment suddenly, as this may cause your symptoms to return.
