About Lypep-DSR Capsule

DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE is composed of two medicines, namely: Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic and anti-nausea agent that helps to treat indigestion and stomach pain. On the other hand, Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the excess stomach acid formation by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE is a widely used medicine to treat peptic ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

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, or fullness and indigestion. On the other hand, it effectively blocks the action of a vomiting center (chemoreceptor trigger zone - CTZ) located in your brain, which is responsible for inducing the feeling of nausea and vomiting. Pantoprazole helps in reducing the stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall responsible for the release of gastric acid secretion damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum.

DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE can be prescribed to adults and children aged 12 years and over. It is better to take DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE an hour before a meal. DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Avoid intake of DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE for more than four weeks of duration without consulting the doctor.

Like all medicines, DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE may cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. The most common side effects of DOMPERIDONE+PANTOPRAZOLE are diarrhea, stomach pain, flatulence (gas), dryness in the mouth, dizziness, and headache. Everyone doesn't need to experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with your doctor.
