Astepan DSR
Composition
Pantoprazole 40mg + Domperidone 30mg Sustained Release Capsule
Indication
Pantoprazole combined with Domperidone is commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux, as well as peptic ulcer disease. This combination therapy leverages the complementary actions of two different medications to provide effective relief from these gastrointestinal conditions.
Domperidone acts as a prokinetic agent, which means it enhances the motility of the upper digestive tract. By increasing the movement of the stomach and intestines, Domperidone facilitates the smoother transit of food through the stomach. This action helps in alleviating symptoms like nausea, bloating, and discomfort associated with slow gastric emptying. Domperidone also helps in preventing the backward flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, thereby reducing episodes of acid reflux.
On the other hand, Pantoprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by blocking the enzyme in the stomach lining responsible for producing acid. By significantly reducing the production of stomach acid, Pantoprazole provides relief from acid-related indigestion and heartburn. This reduction in stomach acid is crucial not only for relieving discomfort but also for allowing healing of the stomach lining in conditions like peptic ulcer disease, where excessive acid can cause sores or ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine.
Astepan DSR is a branded formulation that combines these two medications. Specifically, Astepan DSR tablets contain Domperidone 10mg and Pantoprazole 40mg. This combination is available as Astepan DSR 10mg/40mg tablets, also known as pantoprazole sodium and domperidone tablets. The dual-action approach of Astepan DSR tablets addresses both the motility aspect and the acid production aspect of gastrointestinal disorders. By enhancing the movement of the digestive tract and reducing stomach acid, Astepan DSR tablets effectively manage the symptoms and promote healing of the affected areas.
Astepan DSR tablets are formulated to provide effective relief from GERD and peptic ulcer disease. These tablets are readily accessible through trusted medical channels, ensuring patients receive dependable treatment. When taken as prescribed, Astepan DSR tablets help reduce stomach acidity, promote healing, and improve overall digestive health.
