About Gutprol Capsule

Gutprol Capsule is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach.

Gutprol Capsule is a combination of two drugs: Ilaprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Domperidone (a dopamine antagonist). Ilaprazole prevents proton pumps from working properly and reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes. Domperidone works by increasing the movement of food through the stomach and the digestive tract more quickly and, in this way, reduces the feeling of bloating, fullness and indigestion. It also blocks messages between parts of your brain called the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and the vomiting centre. This stops you from feeling sick (nauseous) and prevents vomiting. Together, Gutprol Capsule helps treat acidity-related problems.

Take Gutprol Capsule as prescribed. You are advised to take Gutprol Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as diarrhoea, stomach pain, flatulence, dryness in the mouth, dizziness, and fatigue. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before taking Gutprol Capsule if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction. Do not take Gutprol Capsule if you have black, tarry bowel motions, blockage or tear in your intestines, a disorder known as phenylketonuria, or low potassium or magnesium level. Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. Consult your doctor before taking Gutprol Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Gutprol Capsule may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Gutprol Capsule should not be given to children below 12 years of age. Avoid consuming alcohol and Gutprol Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and elevate stomach acid production. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Uses of Gutprol Capsule

Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease and Peptic ulcers.

Medicinal Benefits

Gutprol Capsule is a combination of two drugs: Ilaprazole and Domperidone. Gutprol Capsule is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers. Ilaprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Proton pumps are tiny substances in the stomach lining that help it make acid to digest food. Ilaprazole prevents proton pumps from working properly. This reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes. Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that works by increasing the movements and contractions of stomach muscles. Together, Gutprol Capsule helps in treating acidity-related problems.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets irritated or eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, hyperacidity, peptic ulcers, and heartburn. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.

Peptic ulcers: These are sores that develop on the stomach and intestine lining due to erosion of the stomach's protective lining. Symptoms include nausea, changes in appetite, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion.

FAQs

Gutprol Capsule is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease.
Gutprol Capsule is a combination of two drugs: Ilaprazole and Domperidone. Ilaprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. Domperidone works by increasing the movements and contractions of stomach muscles. Together, Gutprol Capsule helps in treating acidity related problems.
Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Gutprol Capsule . Drink enough fluids and eat fibre rich food if you experience diarrhoea. Consult your doctor if you experience excessive diarrhoea or if you find blood in stools.
Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acid reflux. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps in preventing acid reflux.
Dry mouth could be a side-effect of Gutprol Capsule . Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking and mouthwashes containing alcohol, drinking water regularly, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy might stimulate saliva and prevent drying of the mouth.
Do not take Gutprol Capsule for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve even after taking Gutprol Capsule for 7 days.
