About Pantakind Flux Capsule

Pantakind Flux Capsule is a combination medication used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, duodenal ulcers, erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the lining of the oesophagus), infections caused by Helicobacter pylori when given along with an antibiotic, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, acidity, and peptic ulcers.

Pantakind Flux Capsule 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, Pantakind Flux Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn. 

You are advised to take Pantakind Flux Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, flatulence, stomach pain, constipation, and diarrhoea. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pantakind Flux Capsule may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Pantakind Flux Capsule should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Pantakind Flux Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and can elevate the production of stomach acid. Keep your doctor informed about all the medicines and your health condition to rule out any side-effects.

Uses of Pantakind Flux Capsule

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger-Ellison disease, Heartburn

Medicinal Benefits

Pantakind Flux Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, duodenal ulcers, erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the lining of the oesophagus), infections caused by Helicobacter pylori when given along with an antibiotic, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Pantakind Flux Capsule is a combination of two drugs, namely: Pantoprazole and Cinitapride. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor which works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Cinitapride is a gastro-prokinetic agent which increases the pressure of the inferior oesophageal sphincter, thereby preventing the back-flow of food and acid from the stomach into the mouth. Together, Pantakind Flux Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity. Pantakind Flux Capsule increases gastrointestinal motility by enhancing the strength of contractions without disrupting their rhythm, thereby helps in treating indigestion.

Storage

Keep Pantakind Flux Capsule out of reach and sight of children.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. 

Peptic ulcers: Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the lining of the stomach and intestine due to erosion of the stomach's protective lining. Symptoms include nausea, changes in appetite, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion. 

Indigestion: Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.

Zollinger Ellison syndrome: It is a rare condition in which a gastrin-secreting tumour of the pancreas causes excessive acid production leading to peptic ulcers.
