Itopan Capsule 10's

Question 1

How does Itopan Capsule 10's work?

Accepted Answer

Itopan Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Pantoprazole and Itopride. Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, responsible for the production of acid. Itopride works by accelerating gastric emptying and improves gastric sensitivity and tension. Together, Itopan Capsule 10's helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby provides relief from acidity.

Question 2

Can I take Itopan Capsule 10's for longer durations?

Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better even after taking Itopan Capsule 10's for 14 days. Do not take Itopan Capsule 10's for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor.

Question 3

Does Itopan Capsule 10's cause diarrhoea?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Itopan 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 4

Can I lie down after having meals?

Accepted Answer

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acid reflux. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps in preventing acid reflux.
