About Pantafol-DSR Capsule

Pantafol-DSR Capsule is indicated in the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux), erosive esophagitis (inflammation of the oesophagus due to acid reflux), and gastric and duodenal ulcers. Additionally, it is also used to relieve symptoms of nausea and vomiting, upper abdominal discomfort, feeling of discomfort, and regurgitation of gastric contents.

Pantafol-DSR Capsule contains pantoprazole and domperidone. Pantoprazole works by reducing the amount of acid made by the stomach. Domperidone works by increasing the movements of the stomach and intestines. Together, Pantafol-DSR Capsule helps treat acidity-related conditions.

The most common side effects of Pantafol-DSR Capsule are diarrhoea, stomach pain, flatulence (gas), dry mouth, dizziness, and headache. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid intake of acid or heartburn-triggering foods or drinks like onions, peppermint, chocolate, caffeinated beverages, citrus fruits or juices, tomatoes and high-fat and spicy foods.
  • Before going to sleep, try to raise your bedhead so that your head and chest are higher than your feet. Do not use piles of pillows; one raised block is fine. This will not allow the stomach acid to backflow through your food pipe.
  • Avoid taking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Alcohol can raise the level of production of stomach acid, leading to heartburn and acid reflux. On the other hand, nicotine smoking damages the valve (sphincter), which prevents the backflow of the stomach acid back into the food pipe.
  • Include high fibre-containing foods, berries, cherries, leafy green veggies (kale, spinach) and black peppers in your meal. These foods are full of antioxidants, calcium and vitamin B12 that can help cope with the long-term effects of the medicine. Fermented dairy products like miso, sauerkraut, and kimchi contain probiotics which help prevent excess stomach acid production. Cranberry juice can be beneficial for peptic ulcers and H pylori infection.
  • Avoid sitting continuously, as it can increase stomach acid production. Take a break of 5 minutes in 1 hour by brisk walking or stretching.

FAQs

Pantafol-DSR Capsule is used to treat Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Heartburn due to hyperacidity, Inflammation of food pipe (esophagitis), and Peptic ulcer.

Domperidone works by increasing the movement of food through the stomach and the digestive tract more quickly and, in this way, reduces the feeling of bloating, fullness and indigestion. On the other hand, it effectively blocks the action of a vomiting centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone - CTZ) located in your brain, which is responsible for inducing the feeling of nausea and vomiting. Pantoprazole helps in reducing stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall and is responsible for the release of gastric acid, damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum.
