Pantakind Flux Capsule 10’s

Pantakind Flux Capsule 10’s belongs to the gastrointestinal medication used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, duodenal ulcers (caused due to H Pylori bacteria), food pipe ulcer (oesophagitis) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. GERD (gastrointestinal oesophagal reflux disorder) occurs when stomach acid or bile fluids flow into the food pipe (oesophagus) and irritates the lining of the stomach and intestine. Acid reflux and heartburn in the chest area more than twice a week may indicate symptoms of GERD.

Pantakind Flux Capsule 10’s is a combination of two drugs, namely: Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Cinitapride (gastro-prokinetic agent). Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of stomach acid. On the other hand, Cinitapride increases the movement of the food pipe (oesophagus), small intestine and stomach, thereby enhancing bowel movement and digestive tract gets emptied from the food in a shorter time. Together, Pantakind Flux Capsule 10’s helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby provides relief from hyperacidity and heartburn.
