Enteric Coated Pantoprazole combined with Sustained Release

 Levosulpiride is used primarily to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, and peptic ulcers by reducing stomach acid and improving gastric motility.

Composition and Mechanism of Action

Each capsule typically contains Pantoprazole 40 mg (as enteric-coated pellets) and Levosulpiride 75 mg (as sustained-release formulation) along with excipients 

• Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces gastric acid secretion by blocking the gastric proton pump, which helps relieve acid-related discomfort and promotes ulcer healing 

• Levosulpiride is a prokinetic agent that increases the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter and enhances gastrointestinal motility, reducing acid reflux and facilitating gastric emptying
