Cinigap 3mg/40mg Capsule is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, duodenal ulcers, erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the lining of the oesophagus), infections caused by Helicobacter pylori when given along with an antibiotic, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Cinigap 3mg/40mg Capsule contains Pantoprazole and Cinitapride. Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of stomach acid. Cinitapride increases the pressure of the inferior oesophageal sphincter, thereby preventing the back-flow of food and acid from the stomach into the mouth. Together, Cinigap 3mg/40mg Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Cinigap 3mg/40mg Capsule. Drink enough fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience severe diarrhoea, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent symptoms of acid reflux. After having a meal, try 10-15 minutes of brisk walking, especially after dinner. Raise the head of the bed 10-20 cm by putting a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps prevent acid reflux.
