Benefits of Pantakind DSR Capsule
Pantoprazole reduces the amount of acid the stomach produces, which relieves heartburn and allows an irritated food pipe or stomach lining to heal. Domperidone adds to this by helping the stomach empty more efficiently, which cuts down bloating, regurgitation and the discomfort of food sitting too long in the stomach.

How to use Pantakind DSR Capsule
Take Pantakind DSR Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily before breakfast. Swallow it whole with water — do not crush or chew the capsule, as this can affect how the medicine is released.
How Pantakind DSR Capsule works
Pantoprazole blocks the acid-producing pump in the stomach lining, lowering acid levels and easing heartburn and irritation. Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the gut, which increases the strength of stomach contractions and speeds up how quickly its contents move into the intestine.

Frequently asked questions
What is Pantakind DSR Capsule used for?
It combines pantoprazole and domperidone to treat indigestion, acid reflux, gastritis and stomach or duodenal ulcers, especially when these come with bloating or slow digestion.
How is Pantakind DSR different from plain pantoprazole?
Plain pantoprazole only reduces stomach acid. This capsule adds domperidone, which also speeds up stomach emptying, so it's better suited when reflux comes with bloating, fullness or nausea.
When is the best time to take this capsule?
It is usually taken once daily before breakfast on an empty stomach, unless your doctor has advised a different timing.
Can this medicine be taken for a long time?
Domperidone is generally recommended for short courses, so this combination is usually prescribed for a limited period. Follow your doctor's advice on duration and any follow-up review.
What should I avoid while taking Pantakind DSR Capsule?
Be cautious with driving until you know how the medicine affects your alertness, and avoid self-adjusting the dose or continuing it past the prescribed duration.
