Panum L Capsule 10

Panum L Capsule SR 10 is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults, helping to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, bloating and nausea.

Uses of Panum L Capsule SR 10 are:

• Acid Reflux (GERD): Reduces stomach acid production and improves gut movement to ease reflux symptoms.
• Bloating and Nausea: Helps speed up stomach emptying and reduce feelings of fullness, bloating and nausea.

• Swallow it whole with a glass of water.

• Avoid crushing, chewing or opening the capsule.

• Please consult your doctor for personalised advice on taking this medicine.

Panum L Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Panum L Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Pantoprazole (40 mg): Belonging to the proton pump inhibitor class of medicines, pantoprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system ('proton pump') in the gastric parietal cells. This action reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

• Levosulpiride (75 mg): This prokinetic agent increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food pass through more efficiently. It also acts as an atypical antipsychotic, blocking dopamine receptors in the gut and chemoreceptor trigger zone. This activity reduces nausea, vomiting, and acid reflux.

Together, these ingredients help increase gut motility while reducing gastric acid secretion, providing relief from GERD symptoms.

• Store Panum L Capsule 10 in a cool, dry place at room temperature.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure the container is kept tightly closed.

• Always ensure this medicine is out of reach of children.

• Maintain a regular exercise routine. Physical activity can help improve digestion and prevent conditions like GERD. However, avoid exercising immediately after meals.
