Acid rising into the throat after eating is usually due to acid reflux, where stomach acid flows back because the valve between the stomach and the oesophagus does not close properly. Large meals, spicy or oily foods, lying down soon after eating, stress, or gastritis can worsen this sensation and cause discomfort.

Persistent dry, itchy throat with pain despite a routine endoscopy is often due to ongoing acid reflux or throat sensitivity. You should consult your doctor to review your treatment, optimise acid control, and follow lifestyle measures such as smaller meals, avoiding late eating, and elevating the head while sleeping.

Prodep 20 can irritate the stomach and worsen gastritis, which may explain why you still experience indigestion and gastric pain despite taking Pan-D once daily. You should consult your doctor, as your treatment may need adjustment, additional stomach-protective measures, or a different antidepressant that is less likely to irritate the stomach.

You can discuss with your doctor or pharmacist about taking generic tablets containing the same ingredients, pantoprazole and domperidone, which are usually cheaper but work the same way as Pan-D Capsule. Lifestyle changes like avoiding spicy foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating can also help reduce acidity and heartburn.
