Protera D Strip Of 15 Capsules
Protera D Strip Of 15 Capsules Description
Protera D capsule is an anti-reflux medicine used to treat GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease). GERD is a condition where acid from the stomach flows back to the food pipe. The backflow of acid ir
ritates the lining of the food pipe and leads to chest pain and heartburn. Protera D capsule contains pantoprazole and domperidone as active ingredients. The combination is used in patients in which pantoprazole alone is not able to control acid reflux. Protera D capsule must be taken as directed by the doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed. It must be taken before meals. Before using the medicine, inform the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and about the detailed medical history.
