Anxipan Capsule 10's

Anxipan Capsule is a combination medication. It is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) associated with anxiety. GERD is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). An anxiety disorder is a mental health disorder characterised by feelings of excessive fear or worry that affect an individual's daily activities.

Anxipan Capsule is a combination of two drugs: Amitriptyline and Pantoprazole. Amitriptyline belongs to a class of medications known as tricyclic antidepressants, and it works by boosting serotonin levels in the brain that help regulate mood. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid in the stomach; thus, it relieves symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Take Anxipan Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Anxipan Capsule for as long as your doctor prescribes it. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as headaches, diarrhoea, constipation, light-headedness or dizziness, dry mouth, sleepy or tiredness, and difficulty peeing. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Avoid taking Anxipan Capsule if you are allergic to Anxipan Capsule or any ingredients in it. This medicine is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women; hence, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Anxipan Capsule may cause light-headedness or dizziness. Hence, do not drive or operate machinery until you are mentally alert. Avoid consuming alcohol with Anxipan Capsule as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness. Tell your doctor about your medical and medication history to avoid side effects.
