How Pantodac Dsr Capsule works

Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that blocks the gastric H+/K+ ATPase, reducing stomach acid production. Domperidone is a peripheral dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist that increases gastric motility and reduces nausea by enhancing gastric emptying.

Take as directed by the doctor. Usually taken once daily, preferably 30 minutes before breakfast; swallow capsule whole (do not crush/open), with water. If prescribed twice daily, take before meals.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Expert advice for Pantodac Dsr Capsule

Take it before breakfast, not after a meal. Eat smaller meals, avoid late dinners, raise the head of your bed and avoid smoking — these do as much as the tablet for reflux. Take it shortly before meals for bloating and early fullness. Sip fluids frequently in small amounts, and use oral rehydration salts if you have been vomiting.
