Pantocaf It Capsule 10

Pantocaf It Capsule 10 is used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by reducing excess stomach acid and preventing acid backflow into the food pipe. It helps relieve heartburn, acidity, and regurgitation while supporting healing of the oesophageal lining and is also effective in treating peptic ulcer disease.

Pantocaf It Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Pantocaf It Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients which work together to manage GERD and peptic ulcers:

• Itopride (150 mg): This prokinetic agent enhances the contractions of the stomach and intestines. This action accelerates gastric emptying and enhances gastrointestinal motility, enabling food and acid to pass more swiftly and easily out of the stomach. It achieves this by blocking dopamine D2 receptors and inhibiting acetylcholinesterase.
• Pantoprazole (40 mg): As a proton pump inhibitor, pantoprazole suppresses stomach acid secretion. It achieves this by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system of the gastric parietal cells, responsible for the final step in acid production. By inhibiting this pump, pantoprazole effectively reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

• Store Pantocaf It Capsule 10 in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature.
• Ensure the medicine is protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• Always use this medication before the expiry date printed on the package.

• If you're taking Pantocaf It Capsule 10 for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), try to avoid fatty, spicy foods, and caffeine. These can trigger heartburn by increasing stomach acid production.
• For peptic ulcers, reduce alcohol intake. Alcohol can irritate and erode the mucous lining of your stomach, causing ulcers.
