Pantop M Capsule belongs to a class of medication called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach.
Pantop M Capsule is a combination of two drugs, namely: Mosapride (gastroprokinetic agent) and Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor). Mosapride increases the movement of the food pipe (oesophagus), small intestine and stomach. It enhances bowel movement and empties the digestive tract from food in a shorter time. Thereby, it helps in preventing acid reflux and provides relief from hyperacidity and heartburn. Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of proton pumps that are involved in producing stomach acid. Thereby, it reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe.
