Pantop M Capsule 10's

Pantop M Capsule belongs to a class of medication called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 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.

Pantop M Capsule is a combination of two drugs, namely: Mosapride (gastroprokinetic agent) and Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor). Mosapride increases the movement of the food pipe (oesophagus), small intestine and stomach.  It enhances bowel movement and empties the digestive tract from food in a shorter time. Thereby, it helps in preventing acid reflux and provides relief from hyperacidity and heartburn. Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of proton pumps that are involved in producing stomach acid. Thereby, it reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe.

Take Pantop M Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Pantop M Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, stomach pain or dry mouth. Most of these side effects of Pantop M Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Pantop M Capsule or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Pantop M Capsule is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor before taking Pantop M Capsule .  Pantop M Capsule should be used with caution in elderly patients due to the increased risk of adverse effects. Drive only if you are alert as Pantop M Capsule may cause dizziness or vision disturbances. Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase the production of stomach acid and worsen the symptoms.
