Clinical Overview
Pantoprazole (40mg enteric-coated) and Itopride Hydrochloride (150mg sustained-release) combines an antisecretory PPI with a dual-action prokinetic. Itopride simultaneously antagonizes dopamine D2 receptors and inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE), boosting endogenous acetylcholine release in the enteric plexuses without crossing the blood-brain barrier or affecting cardiac potassium HERG channels. Indicated for non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), GERD, and functional dyspepsia characterized by epigastric fullness, heartburn, and bloating.
