Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Peptic ulcer disease

Acid reflux can make you feel sick and throw up.

Pregnancy interaction:
Nicopenta DSR Capsule has 40 mg of Pantoprazole and 30 mg of Domperidone in a form that releases the drugs slowly.
If you're pregnant, you should only use it if your doctor tells you to.
There have been no reports of major risks to the fetus from using pantoprazole during pregnancy.
There isn't a lot of information about how safe domperidone is for pregnant women, so you should be careful when using it.
Pantoprazole is safe to take while breastfeeding because it only goes into breast milk in very little doses. Domperidone, on the other hand, could go into breast milk and produce negative effects in the baby.
Because of this, Nicopenta DSR should only be used while pregnant or breastfeeding with a doctor's permission
Expert advice:
If possible, take Nicopenta DSR on an empty stomach, before meals.
To ease acid reflux symptoms, stay away from spicy meals, smoking, alcohol, and caffeine.
If you have liver illness, cardiac difficulties, or an electrolyte imbalance, tell your doctor.
If you use it for a long time, it may lower your magnesium, calcium, or vitamin B12 levels. Keep an eye on these.
Do not chew or break the capsule; just consume it whole with water.
Don't mix it with other drugs that lower acid or stop vomiting unless your doctor says it's okay.

How it works:
Nicopenta DSR Capsule has two active ingredients:
Pantoprazole (40 mg) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that stops the stomach from making acid. This gives you long-lasting relief from heartburn and acidity.
Domperidone (30 mg SR) is a dopamine receptor blocker that makes the stomach move more quickly, which helps food go through the stomach and intestines more easily. This reduces nausea, bloating, and fullness.
Together, they do a great job of lowering acid levels, stopping reflux, and making digestion better.

Medicine interaction:
Nicopenta DSR Capsule may interact with:
Antifungal drugs like ketoconazole and itraconazole make it harder for them to be absorbed.
Blood thinners like warfarin and clopidogrel may make bleeding more likely.
Antibiotics (clarithromycin, erythromycin) can raise the levels of Domperidone.
Heart drugs or antidepressants may make it more likely that your heart will have problems with its rhythm.
Antacids or H2 blockers may make Pantoprazole less effective.
Always tell your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking.
