Pantocid DSR 40 mg 30 mg

Pantocid DSR -40� Mg (Pantoprazole)

Pantocid DSR is a combination medicine that contains Pantoprazole and Domperidone as the main active ingredients. Pantoprazole is a substituted benzimidazole that inhibits the secretion of HCL in the stomach by specific action of the proton pumps of the parietal cells. Pan is an acid reducer that lowers the natural acid production in the stomach.

Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist drug with antiemetic properties. The drug does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier (a barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain extracellular fluid {BEF} in the central nervous system). It seldom causes extra-pyramidical adverse effects, but does cause a rise in the level of prolactin.
