A prokinetic agent that stimulates gut motility, improving gastric emptying.
A proton pump inhibitor (ppi) that reduces stomach acid production.
Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, such as heartburn and acid reflux, along with nausea and vomiting associated with delayed gastric emptying.
Treatment of dyspepsia (indigestion) characterized by symptoms such as bloating, fullness, and upper abdominal pain in the context of delayed gastric emptying.
Domperidone blocks dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and the gastrointestinal tract, thereby stimulating gastric motility and reducing nausea and vomiting. Pantoprazole inhibits the enzyme H+/K+-ATPase, which is responsible for the final step in gastric acid secretion, resulting in significant and long-lasting reduction in stomach acid production.
