DESCRITION
PANTIN L CAPSULE is a combination of Levosulpiride and Pantoprazole which belongs to the group of medicines called Dopamine D2 antagonists and Proton-pump inhibitors respectively. PANTIN L CAPSULE is indicated for the short-term management of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) among patients who do not respond adequately to proton-pump inhibitors (Ex. pantoprazole, omeprazole, rabeprazole) alone.
GERD is a chronic digestive disease in which the stomach acid frequently flows into the esophagus leading to irritation and inflammation of lining of food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, sensation of lump in throat and stomach discomfort.
PANTIN L CAPSULE can also be used to manage peptic ulcer (painful sores in the gut) caused by H. pylori infection or NSAIDs use and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumors in pancreas causing the stomach to secrete more acid).
Take PANTIN L CAPSULE preferably one hour before meals. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking PANTIN L CAPSULE as it could potentiate the CNS depressive side effects.
Uses
- To manage gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) for short-term among patients who do not respond adequately to proton-pump inhibitors (Ex. pantoprazole, omeprazole, rabeprazole) alone
- To manage peptic ulcer and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Works
PANTIN L CAPSULE reduces stomach ulcers and acid reflux, where pantoprazole acts by inhibiting the secretions of stomach acid by blocking the proton pump (H+ K+ ATPase) at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells and levosulpiride acts by facilitating gastric emptying and bowel movements by blocking the dopamine D2 receptors in the gut, thus reducing acid reflux and healing of stomach ulcers and esophageal lesions.
How to use
Take PANTIN L CAPSULE as advised by your physician. Swallow PANTIN L CAPSULE with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of PANTIN L CAPSULE for you depending upon your age, body weight and disease condition. Do not stop taking PANTIN L CAPSULE without informing your doctor.
