PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S

Question 1

How does PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S work?

Accepted Answer

PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S is a combination of two drugs, namely: Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby prevents backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby provides relief from acidity.

Question 2

Does PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S cause diarrhoea?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of PANSEC L 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

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.

Question 4

Does PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S cause bone fractures?

Accepted Answer

PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S contains pantoprazole which might increase the risk of osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). This mainly occurs in people taking higher doses of PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S for longer durations. Your doctor may prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements if you are at risk of osteoporosis.

Question 5

Is it safe to take PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S for longer durations?

Accepted Answer

Do not take PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor. Talk to your doctor if you do not find symptomatic relief. The doctor may monitor your condition regularly if you are on long term treatment with PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S.

Question 6

Does PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S cause dry mouth?

Accepted Answer

Dry mouth could be a side-effect of PANSEC L CAPSULE 10'S. Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking and mouthwashes containing alcohol, drinking water regularly, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy might help in stimulating saliva and thereby prevents drying of the mouth.
