Ulzero-20 D

Composition:

• Pantoprazole 20 mg
• Domperidone 10 mg

Description:

Ulzero 20 D is a combination medication that effectively treats gastrointestinal issues such as acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. It contains Pantoprazole and Domperidone, two active ingredients that work synergistically to relieve symptoms and promote healing in the stomach and esophagus.

• Pantoprazole: A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production, helping to heal ulcers, prevent acid reflux, and control gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
• Domperidone: A dopamine antagonist that helps in reducing nausea and vomiting and also promotes gastric motility, ensuring the smooth passage of food and acid through the digestive system.

This combination is effective for patients who experience acid reflux along with nausea or delayed gastric emptying, providing comprehensive relief from multiple gastrointestinal symptoms.
