How Does It Work?

• A pump called the proton pump in the stomach is responsible for the secretion of stomach acids.
• Pantoprazole binds to this proton pump in stomach cells, thus blocking acid secretion.
• Domperidone increases the motility of the stomach, intestines; so that acid does not reflux back into the food pipe.

Interactions with other medicines

• Some medicine can alter the way the Pantocid D capsule works or this medicine itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
• Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
• Medicines whose activity is dependent on the pH of stomach acid may not work properly when taken along with the Pantocid D 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 the Pantocid D capsule can increase the risk of bleeding.
• 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.
