Proloc D Capsules
Proloc D Capsules Description
Proloc D Capsule is used to treat acid reflux, also known as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It helps relieve the symptoms of heartburn, indigestion, chest pain, discomfort, and irritation as
sociated with acid reflux. Proloc D Capsule is also used to treat peptic ulcers, stomach discomfort, acidity, etc. It is a combination medicine containing pantoprazole and domperidone as the main components. This medicine works by reducing the formation of acid in the stomach. It also improves gut movement, preventing acid backflow to the food pipe. Proloc D Capsule should only be used under medical supervision. Your doctor will decide the dose, duration, and frequency of your medicine use.

Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as these can make your condition worse. People taking Proloc D Capsule for a long time should be monitored regularly for hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels in the blood) and bone fractures. This is especially important for older people and people with other risk factors. Tell your doctor before taking Proloc D Capsule if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose or give you a different medicine. Proloc D Capsule is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under 18 years of age.

Mode of Action of Proloc D Capsules
How Does It Work?
- 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 medicine. It works by increasing the motility of the stomach and bowel, thus prevents the backflow of the food and stomach acids towards the food pipe.
