Piker .D capsule PR

Description

Product Introduction:

Piker-D Capsule PR is a prescription medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia (indigestion), and gastritis. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation.

This medication also neutralizes stomach acid and promotes the easy passage of gas, providing relief from bloating and discomfort. Piker-D Capsule PR is typically taken on an empty stomach, as directed by your doctor. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on your specific condition and response to the medication.

Uses of Piker-D Capsule PR:

• Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A chronic condition in which excess stomach acid flows into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort.
• Treatment of Indigestion (Dyspepsia): Piker-D relieves symptoms of indigestion like bloating, nausea, and stomach discomfort.
• Treatment of Gastritis: Reduces inflammation in the stomach lining, relieving symptoms like pain and irritation.

Benefits of Piker-D Capsule PR:

1. In GERD:
   • Piker-D Capsule PR reduces stomach acid production, alleviating symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux. This helps prevent damage to the esophagus and promotes healing. For optimal results, it’s important to take the medication as prescribed and avoid triggers like spicy foods, citrus, or fatty foods.
   • Lifestyle changes such as eating smaller meals, losing weight (if necessary), and avoiding eating close to bedtime can further help control symptoms.
2. In Indigestion:
   • Pantoprazole reduces acid production, while Domperidone improves motility, allowing the food to pass more easily through the digestive tract. This combination effectively relieves bloating, nausea, and discomfort associated with indigestion.
3. In Gastritis:
   • By reducing stomach acid and improving gastric motility, Piker-D Capsule PR helps manage the inflammation and discomfort caused by gastritis.

How Piker-D Capsule PR Works:

Piker-D Capsule PR is a combination of two active ingredients:

1. Domperidone (30mg): A prokinetic agent that works on the upper digestive tract, stimulating movement in the stomach and intestines to help food move more easily through the digestive system.
2. Pantoprazole (40mg): A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, which helps alleviate acid-related symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, and gastritis.

By working together, these two ingredients provide relief from stomach discomfort and acid-related conditions.

How to Use Piker-D Capsule PR:

• Dosage: Take Piker-D Capsule PR exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical dosage will depend on your condition and response to treatment.
• Administration: Take the capsule on an empty stomach for optimal absorption. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the capsule.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Avoiding foods and drinks that trigger acid reflux (e.g., spicy food, caffeine, chocolate) can improve results. Additionally, avoid eating close to bedtime and elevate the head of your bed if you suffer from GERD.
