Pantoprazole Gastro-resistant 40mg and Cinitapride Sustained release 3mg Capsules Uses
This combination medicine is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions where there is excessive stomach acid along with slow movement of food through the stomach (gastroparesis). It helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation, feeling of fullness, nausea, and vomiting.
How Pantoprazole + Cinitapride works
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid secretion. Cinitapride is a prokinetic agent that improves the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, helping to empty the stomach faster and reduce reflux. Together, they provide relief from both acid-related and motility-related symptoms.
