ProtoChek DSR Capsule primarily helps manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe, causing irritation. This medicine is a combination of prokinetic agents and proton pump inhibitors.

Besides its primary application for managing GERD, this capsule is also useful in managing conditions like indigestion and gastritis. These are conditions characterised by inflammation of the stomach lining, often resulting in discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen.

Before you start using this capsule, make sure you inform your doctor about any preexisting health conditions or ongoing medications. If any side effects develop while on this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. For best results, continue taking the medicine for the complete duration prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects of Protochek Dsr Capsule 10

ProtoChek DSR Capsule may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Dizziness
Dry mouth
Diarrhoea
Abdominal pain
Flatulence
Gynecomastia: This is a condition where men develop enlarged breast tissue, which might occur due to an imbalance of hormones in the body.
Galactorrhea: This means that a milk-like substance is being produced from your breasts, even if you're not breastfeeding.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of ProtoChek DSR Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Try taking ProtoChek DSR Capsule with food to lessen this effect.
Abdominal pain: If you experience stomach pain after taking this medicine, consider taking it after your meals.

ProtoChek DSR Capsule contains two active ingredients that work together to relieve symptoms of GERD, indigestion and gastritis:

Domperidone (30 mg): This component functions as a dopamine receptor antagonist. It blocks certain receptors in your gut called D2 receptors. By doing so, it increases movement along the gastrointestinal tract and prevents reflux. Additionally, domperidone also helps to prevent nausea and vomiting by blocking D2 receptors in an area of your brain known as the chemoreceptor trigger zone.
Pantoprazole (40 mg): As a proton pump inhibitor, pantoprazole works by irreversibly binding to and inhibiting an enzyme found in your stomach lining called H+/K+ ATPase (also known as the proton pump). This action significantly reduces gastric acid secretion in your stomach.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking ProtoChek DSR Capsule if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

ProtoChek DSR Capsule should be used with caution if you are breastfeeding. A discussion with your doctor can help understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

It's wise to minimise alcohol intake while on this medication.

Liver

If you have liver problems, caution is advised when taking ProtoChek DSR Capsule, especially in cases of moderate to severe liver impairment. Discuss this with your doctor before starting on the medication.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, it's a good idea to consult your doctor before taking ProtoChek DSR Capsule.

Using Machines & Driving

This medicine may cause dizziness as a side effect. If you experience this, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you feel better.

Allergy

Do not take ProtoChek DSR Capsule if you are allergic to domperidone, pantoprazole, or any other ingredients in it. Seek medical advice if you experience an allergic reaction.

Children

ProtoChek DSR Capsule is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take ProtoChek DSR Capsule under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
