Pantocid DSR Capsule`

Introduction
Pantocid DSR Capsule is a prescribed treatment commonly used for conditions such as acid reflux, indigestion, and gastritis. It reduces excess stomach acid and eases irritation, pain, and burning sensations linked with acidity. The medicine also supports better digestion by controlling bloating and improving gas passage, thereby reducing stomach discomfort.

How to Take
This capsule is usually taken on an empty stomach, exactly in the dose suggested by your doctor. The length of treatment depends on the condition being treated and your body’s response. Do not stop taking it suddenly without medical guidance, as this may bring back symptoms or worsen the illness. Always let your doctor know about any other medicines or supplements you are using, as they may interact with Pantocid DSR.

Possible Side Effects
Some people may experience mild and temporary issues such as loose stools, nausea, stomach pain, bloating, dryness in the mouth, headache, dizziness, or occasional vomiting. These usually improve as the body adjusts. However, if they persist or trouble you, consult your healthcare provider. Since it can sometimes cause drowsiness or reduce alertness, avoid driving or operating machines until you know how your body reacts. Alcohol intake can intensify drowsiness and should be avoided. Following a simple diet—like skipping spicy meals, tea, coffee, or chocolates, and adding soothing foods like cold milk—can help achieve better relief.

Precautions
Individuals with kidney or liver conditions should take this medicine cautiously and only under medical supervision. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before starting this medicine to understand the risks and benefits.

Uses
Pantocid DSR Capsule is helpful for:

• Indigestion (dyspepsia)

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

• Gastritis

By lowering stomach acid and improving gut motility, it relieves burning sensations, indigestion-related discomfort, and promotes smoother digestion.

How it Works
The capsule combines two active agents. Domperidone improves stomach and intestinal movement, which helps food pass smoothly through the digestive tract. Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, decreases acid production in the stomach, relieving symptoms such as heartburn and acid-related irritation. Working together, they provide effective and long-lasting relief.

Safety Guidance
Alcohol use should be limited, as it can increase unwanted effects. During pregnancy, the medicine is prescribed only when absolutely necessary. While breastfeeding, caution is advised and in some cases temporary discontinuation of feeding may be recommended until the medicine clears from the body. People experiencing dizziness or vision-related problems after taking the capsule should avoid driving or using heavy machinery. Kidney patients may require dosage adjustments, while in liver conditions it is generally safe if taken under a doctor’s supervision.

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next one, skip the missed capsule and continue with your usual routine. Taking two doses close together should be avoided.
