Description:

Pantocid D Capsule is a medicine that is used to treat conditions like acid reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and indigestion with symptoms like heartburn, bloating, and regurgitation. It works by lowering acid production and helping the stomach empty faster.
 

Take Pantocid D Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily before breakfast. Swallow it whole with water; do not crush or chew. To get the best results, maintain a healthy diet, avoid late-night meals, caffeine, spicy or oily foods, and stop smoking or alcohol use. Do not skip doses or stop early, even if you feel better, as that may lead to a return of the symptoms.

 

The most common side effect of Pantocid D Capsule is dry mouth. It may also cause headache, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, or mild stomach discomfort in some people. These are usually temporary. If you experience persistent vomiting, irregular heartbeat, rash, or severe diarrhea, contact your doctor immediately. Staying hydrated and taking the medicine before meals may help reduce stomach-related side effects.

FAQs:

What is Pantocid D Capsule and how does it help?

Pantocid D Capsule is a combination of two medicines used to treat acidity, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the food pipe (esophagus). It works by improving the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food pass more easily through the digestive tract. It also reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, providing relief from acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

Is it safe to use Pantocid D Capsule?

Pantocid D Capsule is safe for most of the patients. However, in some patients, it may cause common side effects like diarrhea, stomach pain, flatulence, dryness in the mouth, dizziness, headache, and other uncommon and rare side effects. If you experience any persistent problem while taking this medication, inform your doctor.

Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Pantocid D Capsule?

The use of Pantocid D Capsule is considered to be harmful for patients with a known hypersensitivity to pantoprazole or domperidone, or any other inactive ingredients of the medicine. Caution is advised in patients with underlying kidney or liver disease.

Can the use of Pantocid D Capsule cause dry mouth?

Affirmative, the use of Pantocid D Capsule can cause dry mouth. If you experience dry mouth, drink plenty of water. Take regular sips of water during the day and keep some water on your bedside at night. Cut down the intake of alcohol and avoid smoking. If you have a dry mouth, try to use alcohol-free mouthwash as its use can increase the risk of tooth decay.

Can the use of Pantocid D Capsule cause diarrhea?

Affirmative, the use of Pantocid D Capsule can cause diarrhea. In case you experience diarrhea, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small, frequent sips. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medication. Communicate to your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, like less urination with dark colored and strong-smelling urine.

While taking Pantocid D Capsule, which foods should be avoided?

You should preferably avoid foods that cause acidity and heartburn as they will only worsen your condition, for example, fried or spicy food, butter, oil, and juices, caffeinated drinks like cola or tea, drinks from citrus fruits like lemon water or orange juice, and alcohol.

Can I consume alcohol while taking Pantocid D Capsule?

No, alcohol intake is not advised with Pantocid D Capsule. Alcohol itself does not affect the working of this medicine, but it can increase acid production. This may further cause the worsening of your symptoms.

Can I stop taking Pantocid D Capsule if I feel better?

If you have been taking Pantocid D Capsule for a long time, stopping it abruptly may lead to increased acid production, thereby worsening your symptoms. Therefore, you must discuss any dose changes with your doctor.
