Pantopriz D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, dyspepsia, and gastritis by reducing stomach acid. Pantopriz D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia (indigestion), and gastritis. It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, thereby relieving symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. The medicine is a combination of Domperidone and Pantoprazole.

While effective, it may have side effects and should be used under medical supervision, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
