Pansec DSR Capsule (Domperidone 30mg / Pantoprazole 40mg)

Medical Description

Pansec Dsr Capsule is an anti-reflux medicine. It is used to treat GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease). GERD is a condition where acid from the stomach flows back to the food pipe. This backflow of acid irritates the lining of the food pipe and leads to chest pain and heartburn. It contains a combination of two medicines – Pantoprazole and Domperidone. This combination is used in patients in which Pantoprazole alone is not able to control acid reflux. Pansec Dsr Capsule should be taken as directed by the doctor and in the correct doses and for the exact duration as prescribed. It should be taken before meals. Before using this medicine, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or are breastfeeding and about your detailed medical history.

Mode of Action of Pansec Dsr Capsule

How Does It Work?
Pansec Dsr Capsule works by the combined action of its two ingredients, Pantoprazole and Domperidone.
Pantoprazole works by inhibiting a pump called the proton pump in the stomach wall, responsible for the secretion of stomach acids for digestion and hence leads to reduced acid production.
Domperidone is an antiemetic agent. It works by increasing the movement in the stomach and bowel so that acid does not flow back into the food pipe.

Directions for Use of Pansec Dsr Capsule

Pansec Dsr Capsule should be taken as a whole with a sufficient amount of water. Take Pansec Dsr Capsule tablets, preferably in the morning before your first meal.

Interactions of Pansec Dsr Capsule

Interactions with other medicines
Medicines whose activity is dependent on pH of stomach acid may not work properly when taken along with Pansec Dsr Capsule (some antifungals such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, ampicillin, iron salts and other medicines such as erlotinib).
Blood thinners such as Warfarin, when taken concomitantly with Pansec Dsr Capsule, require regular monitoring of blood clotting parameters. Also, Pansec Dsr Capsule can increase the risk of bleeding when taken in combination with blood thinners.
Other medicines such as medicines used for heart conditions, anti-HIV medicines, certain antibiotics, antimalarials, medicines acting on the brain or used for brain-related disorders should be used cautiously.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines, supplements or herbal preparations you are taking before starting the treatment with Pansec Dsr Capsules.
