About Pantodac IT Capsule

Pantodac IT Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat acidity, GERD (gastro-oesophagal reflux disease), and peptic ulcers. 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.

Pantodac IT Capsule 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. Itopride works by accelerating gastric emptying and improves gastric sensitivity and tension. It also has anti-emetic action. Together, Pantodac IT Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity.

You are advised to take Pantodac IT 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 headache, nausea, stomach pain, dizziness and diarrhoea. 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 Pantodac IT Capsule if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical perforation/obstruction, or movement disorder. On long-term treatment, Pantodac IT Capsule may cause osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia (low levels of magnesium). Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pantodac IT Capsule may cause drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. Pantodac IT Capsule should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Pantodac IT Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and can elevate the production of stomach acid.
