Pantop-D Capsule is commonly used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort. This medicine is a combination medication that falls under two classes: proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents.
Beyond its primary use for GERD, this capsule also brings relief in cases of peptic ulcers and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In peptic ulcers, it aids in healing the sores that develop on the inner lining of the stomach and upper portion of the small intestine. In Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, it helps regulate excessive acid production caused by gastrin-secreting tumours.
