About Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's

Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's is a combination medicine used to treat acidity, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach.

Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs: Pantoprazole and Itopride. Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Itopride works by accelerating gastric emptying and improving gastric sensitivity and tension. It also has anti-emetic action. Together, Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity.

You are advised to take Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before taking Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical perforation/obstruction, or movement disorder. On long-term treatment, Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's may cause osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia (low levels of magnesium). Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's may cause drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's as it could lead to increased drowsiness and can elevate the production of stomach acid.

Uses of Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's

Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's is used in the treatment of hyperacidity, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcer. The detailed uses of Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's are as follows:

  • Hyperacidity: Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's works by reducing excessive stomach acid production, providing relief from symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, and stomach discomfort.
  • Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's helps manage acid reflux by lowering acid levels, thereby reducing regurgitation, irritation of the oesophagus, and difficulty swallowing.
  • Peptic ulcer: Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's promotes healing of stomach and intestinal ulcers by decreasing acid secretion and preventing further damage to the ulcerated tissues.

  • Pantoprazole decreases excessive stomach acid production, preventing irritation and damage to the stomach and oesophagus.
  • Itopride enhances stomach contractions, speeds up gastric emptying, and reduces bloating, nausea, and early satiety.
  • The combined action of both medicines controls the backwards flow of stomach contents, providing relief from heartburn and indigestion.

Drug Warnings

  • Prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole (≥1 year) may increase the risk of bone fractures, particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest required duration.
  • Extended use may reduce absorption of vitamin B₁₂, calcium, and iron, and may increase the risk of gastrointestinal infections (Clostridioides difficile), pneumonia, or formation of stomach polyps.
  • Report any unusual symptoms such as joint pain, persistent rash, fever, or dark-colored urine, as these may indicate rare but serious side effects such as kidney inflammation or lupus-like reactions.
  • Consult your doctor before using Pridepan-IT Capsule 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as safety data are limited. Use in children has not been established and is generally not recommended.
