Pantaom D Tablet is a combination of Domperidone and Pantoprazole. It is used in the treatment of peptic ulcers (sores in the stomach that form due to excess acid) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (a condition where the stomach acid flows back into the food pipe and damages it). These conditions lead to symptoms such as heartburn, discomfort in the stomach, vomiting sensation, and difficulty in swallowing food. Pantaom D Tablet reduces the sensation of nausea and decreases the production of stomach acid. Thus, it helps to heal ulcers.

Pantaom D Tablet shows some common side effects like headache, dry mouth, stomach pain/discomfort, diarrhoea, and dizziness. Consult your doctor if these side effects bother you.

Pantaom D Tablet should be taken one hour before your meal. The dosage and duration of this medicine will be decided by your doctor. You should take this medicine for the complete duration prescribed by your doctor. If you stop this medicine early, your symptoms may come back or your condition may worsen.

Pantaom D Tablet may interact with other medications. Inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney, heart, and/or bone problems and if you are taking any medications. Do not take Pantaom D Tablet if you are allergic to it. This medicine may cause dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machines while you are taking Pantaom D Tablet.

Pantaom D Tablet is not recommended for children below 12 years of age due to limited safety and efficacy data. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, or are breastfeeding while taking this medicine.


Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

A pump called the proton pump in the stomach is responsible for the secretion of stomach acids. Pantoprazole binds to this proton pump in stomach cells, thus blocking acid secretion. Domperidone increases the motility of the stomach and intestines so that acid does not reflux back into the food pipe.

Pharmacokinets

Pantoprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver through the cytochrome P-450 system, predominantly by CYP2C19 demethylation with subsequent sulfation and has a serum elimination half-life of about 1.1 hours. Pantoprazole does not accumulate, and its pharmacokinetics are not altered by multiple daily dosing.

Domperidone is a specific blocker of dopamine receptors. It speeds gastrointestinal peristalsis, causes prolactin release, and is used as antiemetic and tool in the study of dopaminergic mechanisms. Side effects include galactorrhea, gynecomastia, or menstrual irregularities.

The use of Pantaom D Tablet is considered to be harmful for patients with a known hypersensitivity to pantoprazole or domperidone or any other inactive ingredients of the medicine. Caution is advised in patients with underlying kidney or liver disease.
