Hsp Dsr Capsule (10 Cap)

• How Hsp Dsr Capsule Works:

Hsp Dsr Capsule contains two active ingredients, Pantoprazole and Domperidone, that work together to treat conditions caused by too much stomach acid and improve digestion.

Pantoprazole is a selective Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) that works by blocking the proton pump in the stomach lining, which is responsible for producing gastric acid. By inhibiting this enzyme, it effectively reduces stomach acid production, lowering acidity and helping to treat conditions like GERD, acid reflux, and peptic ulcers.

Domperidone, on the other hand, is a gastro-prokinetic and anti-nausea drug. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the upper part of the digestive system, helping food move through the stomach and preventing nausea and vomiting.
