- Domperidone (10mg):
Introduction:
Apan DSR Capsule is a prokinetic agent that acts by increasing the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. It facilitates the movement of food through the digestive system, thereby relieving symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and discomfort.
Apan DSR Capsule also neutralizes the acid in the stomach and promotes easy passage of gas to reduce stomach discomfort. It is taken without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking Apan DSR Capsule for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.
The most common side effects of Apan DSR Capsule are diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, flatulence, dryness in the mouth, and headache. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects. This medicine may cause dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Apan DSR Capsule as it can worsen your sleepiness. Lifestyle modifications like having cold milk and avoiding hot tea, coffee, spicy food, or chocolate can help you to get better results.
Before you start taking this medicine it is important to inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney or liver disease. You should also tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Benefits:
Apan DSR Capsule helps alleviate symptoms associated with delayed gastric emptying, such as nausea and vomiting. It is particularly useful in conditions where poor motility contributes to gastrointestinal symptoms.
Side Effects:
Common side effects may include dry mouth, headache, dizziness, abdominal cramps, and changes in menstrual periods. Rarely, it may cause serious cardiac arrhythmias, especially when used at high doses or in patients with certain risk factors.
-
- Usage Guidelines: Domperidone is usually taken orally before meals as directed by a healthcare professional. The dosage may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and individual patient factors.
- Drug Interactions: Domperidone may interact with medications that prolong the QT interval or inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme system. Caution is advised when co-administering with other drugs that may increase the risk of arrhythmias or affect its metabolism.
- Pantoprazole (20mg):
Introduction:
Apan DSR Capsule belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and works by reducing the production of stomach acid. It inhibits the proton pump in the gastric parietal cells, thereby decreasing gastric acid secretion.
Benefits:
Apan DSR Capsule is effective in managing symptoms of acid-related disorders such as GERD, gastritis, and peptic ulcers. It helps relieve heartburn, regurgitation, and other symptoms associated with excess stomach acid.
Side Effects:
Common side effects may include headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and flatulence. Long-term use or high doses may increase the risk of adverse effects such as osteoporosis-related fractures and vitamin B12 deficiency.
-
- Usage Guidelines: Pantoprazole is typically taken orally, usually once daily before a meal. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the underlying condition being treated and the patient’s response to therapy.
- Drug Interactions: Pantoprazole may interact with medications metabolized by the CYP2C19 enzyme system or those that require an acidic gastric environment for absorption. It may also reduce the efficacy of certain drugs by altering gastric pH.
Apan DSR Capsule provides a comprehensive approach to managing gastrointestinal disorders by combining the prokinetic action of Domperidone with the acid-suppressing effects of Pantoprazole. It is essential to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional and adhere to the prescribed dosage regimen to minimize the risk of side effects and drug interactions.
