Composition
Pentaloc DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule contains two active ingredients:
- Domperidone – 30mg
- Pantoprazole – 40mg
Pantoprazole
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It reduces the production of stomach acid, helping relieve acid-related symptoms and allowing irritated tissues in the stomach and food pipe to heal.
Domperidone
Domperidone is a prokinetic medicine that helps improve the movement of the upper digestive tract. It can help the stomach empty more efficiently and may reduce symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and fullness associated with delayed gastric emptying.
