Ulzero-IT

Composition:

• Pantoprazole 40 mg
• Itopride 150 mg (SR)

Description:

Ulzero IT is a combination of Pantoprazole and Itopride formulated in a sustained-release (SR) capsule for the treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders. This powerful combination helps control acid-related issues while promoting better gastrointestinal motility, providing effective relief from digestive discomfort.

• Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, providing relief from acid reflux, heartburn, and ulcers.
• Itopride is a prokinetic agent that enhances the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, reducing bloating, nausea, and improving overall digestion.

Indications:

Ulzero IT is prescribed for the treatment and management of:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Helps reduce the symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and esophageal irritation.
• Peptic Ulcers: Effective in treating and preventing ulcers in the stomach and duodenum by reducing stomach acid production.
• Functional Dyspepsia: A condition characterized by bloating, nausea, and indigestion, often due to gastric motility issues.
• Gastritis: Treatment of inflammation in the stomach lining caused by excessive acid secretion.
• Gastroparesis: A condition that causes delayed gastric emptying and discomfort, effectively addressed by Itopride’s prokinetic action.

Benefits:

• Dual Action: Combines acid-reducing Pantoprazole with gastrointestinal motility-enhancing Itopride for comprehensive treatment.
• Improved Digestion: Itopride helps in regulating the motility of the stomach and intestines, alleviating bloating and discomfort.
• Reduced Heartburn and Acid Reflux: Pantoprazole helps in managing acid production, preventing irritation of the esophagus and stomach lining.
• Sustained Release Formula: Provides a gradual and consistent release of the active ingredients throughout the day, offering long-lasting relief.
