About Itotive-Total Capsule 10's

Itotive-Total Capsule 10's is a combination medicine used to treat acidity, GERD (gastro-oesophagal reflux disease), and peptic ulcers.

Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach.

Itotive-Total Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs: Pantoprazole and Itopride. Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid.

Together, Itotive-Total Capsule 10's helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, acidity, and peptic ulcers.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): 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: They are sores that develop on the lining of the stomach and intestine 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.
