Description

Pantoprazole (EC) & Levosulpiride (SR) Capsules: The combination of pantoprazole & levosulpiride comes in one enteric-coated, sustained-release formulation. It is highly recommended by doctors for the treatment of stomach-related issues such as acid–in stomach emptying delays, nausea, heartburn or bloating. Typically taken once daily as advised by a doctor, it provides relief from a larger spectrum of upper digestive problems by combining acid suppression with enhanced gut motility more effectively than either ingredient alone.

How It Works

By inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining, pantoprazole reduces the generation of stomach acid at its source. The enteric coating helps the medicine enter the bloodstream whole by protecting it from stomach acid breakdown before it is absorbed. Levosulpiride acts differently; it limits the backward flow of stomach contents by increasing the movement of muscles in the stomach and upper intestine, so enabling food to move forward more effectively. The sustained-release form of levosulpiride allows it to act steadily over several hours; hence, the combination addresses both excess acid and slow, uncoordinated gut movement together.
