Background
1. Pantoprazole
Type: Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)
Use: Reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Common Uses:
Acid reflux (GERD)
Peptic ulcers
Gastritis
Heartburn due to excess stomach acid
How it works: It blocks the proton pumps in the stomach lining that produce acid.
2. Domperidone
Type: Dopamine antagonist (prokinetic and antiemetic)
Use: Helps move food through the stomach more quickly and prevents nausea or vomiting.
Common Uses:
Nausea and vomiting
Bloating, fullness, or indigestion
As an add-on for reflux when stomach emptying is slow
How it works: It increases the movement of the stomach and intestines (motility) and prevents vomiting by acting on the brain’s chemoreceptor zone.
Combination (Pantoprazole + Domperidone)
This combination is often prescribed for:
Acid reflux with bloating or nausea
GERD with delayed gastric emptying
Heartburn not fully relieved by acid reducers alone.
