About Pantosec LS Capsule

Pantosec LS Capsule is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, indigestion, heartburn, and peptic ulcers. Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This causes acidity and heartburn.

Pantosec LS Capsule is a combination of Pantoprazole and Levosulpiride. Pantoprazole lowers acid production in the stomach. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, gas, dry mouth, dizziness and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before taking Pantosec LS Capsule if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction. On long-term treatment, Pantosec LS Capsule may cause osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels). Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How Pantosec LS Capsule Works

Pantosec LS Capsule is a combination of two drugs, namely: Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Pantosec LS Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.
