Pantop LS Capsule

Description

Product Details

Pantop-LS Capsule is a combination medication containing Pantoprazole (40 mg) and Levosulpiride (75 mg). It is used for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, indigestion, and functional dyspepsia by reducing stomach acid and improving gut motility.

Composition & Mechanism of Action

1. Pantoprazole (40 mg) – A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that suppresses stomach acid production by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the gastric lining, helping in ulcer healing and acid reflux relief.
2. Levosulpiride (75 mg) – A prokinetic agent and dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, which enhances gut motility, improves digestion, and prevents acid reflux by tightening the lower esophageal sphincter.

Uses of Pantop-LS Capsule

✅ GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) – Relieves acid reflux, heartburn, and regurgitation.
✅ Peptic Ulcers – Aids in ulcer healing by reducing acid exposure.
✅ Functional Dyspepsia – Treats bloating, early satiety, and indigestion.
✅ Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with Dyspepsia – Helps in reducing stomach discomfort and bloating.
