Ulzero-DSR

Composition:

• Pantoprazole 40 mg
• Domperidone 30 mg (SR)

Description:

Ulzero DSR is a dual-action medication that combines Pantoprazole and Domperidone to effectively manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and other gastrointestinal conditions. It offers a sustained release formulation designed to provide long-lasting relief from symptoms.

• Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach. This helps heal ulcers, prevents acid reflux, and reduces the acidity in the stomach.
• Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that enhances gastric motility, prevents nausea, and promotes the movement of food and liquids through the digestive tract.

Together, these ingredients offer effective symptomatic relief from conditions caused by excessive stomach acid, such as acid reflux, heartburn, bloating, nausea, and vomiting.

Indications:

Ulzero DSR is commonly prescribed for the treatment of:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Reduces acid reflux symptoms and prevents damage to the esophagus.
• Peptic Ulcers: Heals ulcers in the stomach and duodenum by reducing acid levels.
• Dyspepsia: Provides relief from indigestion and associated symptoms like bloating, nausea, and pain.
• Acid-related Gastric Disorders: Includes conditions like gastritis and acid reflux.
• Nausea and Vomiting: Controls symptoms of nausea and vomiting associated with gastrointestinal disturbances.

Benefits:

• Dual Action Formula: Combines Pantoprazole and Domperidone for more comprehensive management of digestive conditions.
• Sustained Release: Provides prolonged relief by ensuring a slow and steady release of the active ingredients.
• Improves Gastric Motility: Helps in the efficient movement of food from the stomach to the intestines, preventing bloating and nausea.
• Reduces Acid Secretion: Controls excessive stomach acid, promoting faster healing of ulcers and reducing irritation in the digestive system.
• Prevents Recurrent Heartburn: Effectively manages chronic acid reflux.
