Protera D Capsule

Introduction

Protera D Capsule is a combination medicine used for managing acid-related stomach conditions along with digestive discomfort. It contains Lansoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) and Domperidone (a prokinetic agent). Lansoprazole helps reduce excess acid in the stomach, while Domperidone improves the movement of food through the digestive tract, reducing symptoms such as nausea, bloating, heartburn, and acid reflux. This capsule is often prescribed for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, and indigestion associated with delayed stomach emptying.
