Description
Pentaloc DSR Capsule is a prescription medicine used to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow, also called acid reflux, can cause discomfort, a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), belching, nausea, and even chest pain. GERD occurs when the lower oesophageal sphincter does not function properly, allowing acid to irritate the oesophagus.
The active ingredients in Pentaloc DSR Capsule are pantoprazole and domperidone. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn and other stomach irritations. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that enhances the motility of the stomach and intestines, facilitating faster stomach emptying and preventing acid reflux into the oesophagus. Together, they effectively manage GERD symptoms.
This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically before meals for optimal results. Do not adjust the dose or stop taking it without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may worsen symptoms. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your condition, and your doctor will decide the appropriate length of therapy.
Common side effects of Pentaloc DSR Capsule may include headache, dizziness, nausea, stomach discomfort, or mild diarrhoea. These side effects are usually temporary. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling. Monitoring and follow-up with your doctor are important to ensure the medicine is working effectively.
Before starting Pentaloc DSR Capsule, inform your doctor about your medical history, including liver, kidney, or heart problems. Also, share information about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Following a healthy lifestyle, avoiding spicy or oily foods, and reducing alcohol consumption can further help manage GERD effectively.
