INTRODUCTION ABOUT PANTOCID L CAPSULE

PANTOCID
L CAPSULE is a combination of Levosulpiride and Pantoprazole which
belongs to the group of medicines called Dopamine D2 antagonists and
Proton-pump inhibitors respectively. PANTOCID L CAPSULE is indicated for
the short-term management of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD)
among patients who do not respond adequately to proton-pump inhibitors
(Ex. pantoprazole, omeprazole, rabeprazole) alone.

GERD is a
chronic digestive disease in which the stomach acid frequently flows
into the esophagus leading to irritation and inflammation of lining of
food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, sensation of
lump in throat and stomach discomfort.

PANTOCID L CAPSULE can
also be used to manage peptic ulcer (painful sores in the gut) caused by
H. pylori infection or NSAIDs use and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
(tumors in pancreas causing the stomach to secrete more acid).

Take
PANTOCID L CAPSULE preferably one hour before meals. Avoid consumption
of alcohol while taking PANTOCID L CAPSULE as it could potentiate the
CNS depressive side effects.

Patients receiving long-term
management with PANTOCID L CAPSULE should be kept on regular
surveillance to rule out the risk of hypomagnesaemia (decreased
magnesium levels in blood) and bone fracture, predominantly in the
elderly patients and in patients with other recognized risk factors like
osteoporosis.

Before taking PANTOCID L CAPSULE inform your
doctor if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems. PANTOCID L
CAPSULE is generally not recommended for use in pregnant or
breastfeeding women and in children or adolescents (below 18 years of
age).

PANTOCID L CAPSULE should be used with caution in elderly
patients (aged 65 years or above) due to increased risk of postural
hypotension, sedation and extrapyramidal effects (such as involuntary
muscle movements, restless, muscle stiffness).

The most common
side effects of taking PANTOCID L CAPSULE are nausea, vomiting,
headache, dizziness, polyps in the stomach gut and flatulence. Consult
your doctor if any of the side effects worsen during or after management
with PANTOCID L CAPSULE.
