Is there a newer medicine for GERD, as I have been taking Pantakind-DSR Capsule for a long time?
A newer medicine for GERD is vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker. Other proton pump inhibitors, such as esomeprazole or rabeprazole, may also be more effective for some patients. Long-term use of Pantakind-DSR Capsule is not recommended due to potential heart risks. You should consult your doctor to review your treatment and consider switching to a safer option.
