How Does It Work?

• Pantafol It Capsule works by the combined action of both its components - pantoprazole and itopride.
• 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.
• Itopride works by increasing the movement in the stomach and intestines, thus accelerates the emptying of the stomach.
