Pandeep-DSR is a combination medication primarily used to treat gastrointestinal issues such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and gastritis. It combines a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and a prokinetic agent to provide a dual-action approach. This makes it effective in reducing the production of stomach acid while also improving the movement of food through the digestive tract.

The two main active ingredients, pantoprazole and domperidone, work synergistically to alleviate symptoms. Pantoprazole directly targets the "proton pumps" in the stomach lining, which are responsible for acid production. By inhibiting these pumps, it significantly reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, thereby helping to heal ulcers and relieve heartburn.

This medication is typically prescribed by a doctor and should be taken as directed, usually on an empty stomach before a meal to maximize its effectiveness. Pandeep-DSR is a prescription-only medicine and is not intended for immediate relief of heartburn. While generally well-tolerated, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions, as long-term use may lead to side effects such as bone weakness or mineral deficiencies.
