Cintopan Capsule 10's

Question 1

How does Cintopan Capsule 10's work?

Accepted Answer

Cintopan Capsule 10's contains Pantoprazole and Cinitapride. Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of stomach acid. Cinitapride increases the pressure of the inferior oesophageal sphincter, thereby preventing the back-flow of food and acid from the stomach into the mouth. Together, Cintopan Capsule 10's helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.

Question 2

Does Cintopan Capsule 10's cause diarrhoea?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Cintopan Capsule 10's. Drink enough fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience severe diarrhoea, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Question 3

Should I rest or walk after taking meal?

Accepted Answer

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent symptoms of acid reflux. After having meal try for 10-15 minutes of brisk walking, especially after having dinner. Raise the head of the bed 10-20 cm by putting a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps in preventing acid reflux.

Does prolonged intake of Cintopan Capsule 10's cause easy bone fractures?
