Pantoprazole (EC) 40mg and Domperidone (SR) 30mg capsules are a combination used to manage conditions related to stomach acid and digestion.
- Pantoprazole (EC) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the production of stomach acid, helping treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The "EC" stands for enteric-coated, meaning the capsule is designed to dissolve in the intestine rather than the stomach, enhancing its effectiveness and reducing stomach irritation.
- Domperidone (SR) is a prokinetic drug that helps to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, promoting faster gastric emptying and relieving symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and bloating. The "SR" stands for sustained release, meaning the drug is released slowly over time for a more consistent effect.
This combination is typically used to treat conditions like GERD, delayed gastric emptying, or nausea related to acid reflux, and it is taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider to improve digestion and reduce discomfort.
