Pantocid DSR Capsule is commonly prescribed for the treatment of digestive conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammation of the food pipe (erosive esophagitis), gastritis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, as well as indigestion associated with symptoms like acidity, bloating, heartburn, and acid regurgitation. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach while also improving gastric movement to help food pass more efficiently.

This medicine should be taken exactly as advised by your doctor, typically once a day before the first meal. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water and avoid breaking or chewing it. For better symptom control, follow dietary and lifestyle measures such as eating balanced meals, avoiding spicy or fatty foods, limiting caffeine, and not lying down immediately after eating. Smoking and alcohol consumption should also be avoided. Continue the treatment for the full duration prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier.

Dry mouth is the most frequently reported side effect of Pantocid DSR Capsule. Some individuals may also experience headache, lightheadedness, loose stools, nausea, or mild abdominal discomfort. These effects are usually short-lived. Seek medical attention immediately if you develop severe diarrhea, skin rashes, persistent vomiting, or changes in heart rhythm. Drinking enough fluids and taking the medicine as directed can help minimize discomfort.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart-related conditions. Caution is advised when using it alongside other medicines that may affect heart rhythm or interact with its components. This medicine should not be used if you have a history of intestinal blockage, gastrointestinal bleeding, or known allergies to its ingredients. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medicine.
