INTRODUCTION

PANSEC L CAPSULE is a combination of Levosulpiride and Pantoprazole which belongs to the group of medicines called Dopamine D2 antagonists and Proton-pump inhibitors respectively. PANSEC L CAPSULE is indicated for the short-term treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) among patients who do not respond adequately to proton-pump inhibitors (Ex. pantoprazole, omeprazole, rabeprazole) alone.

GERD is a chronic digestive disease in which the stomach acid frequently flows into the esophagus leading to irritation and inflammation of lining of food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, sensation of lump in throat and stomach discomfort.

PANSEC L CAPSULE can also be used to treat peptic ulcer (painful sores in the gut) caused by H. pylori infection or NSAIDs use and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumors in pancreas causing the stomach to secrete more acid).

Take PANSEC L CAPSULE preferably one hour before meals. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking PANSEC L CAPSULE as it could potentiate the CNS depressive side effects.

Patients receiving long-term treatment with PANSEC L CAPSULE should be kept on regular surveillance to rule out the risk of hypomagnesaemia (decreased magnesium levels in blood) and bone fracture, predominantly in the elderly patients and in patients with other recognized risk factors like osteoporosis.

Before taking PANSEC L CAPSULE inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems. PANSEC L CAPSULE is generally not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women and in children or adolescents (below 18 years of age).

PANSEC L CAPSULE should be used with caution in elderly patients (aged 65 years or above) due to increased risk of postural hypotension, sedation and extrapyramidal effects (such as involuntary muscle movements, restless, muscle stiffness).

The most common side effects of taking PANSEC L CAPSULE are nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, polyps in the stomach gut and flatulence. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects worsen during or after treatment with PANSEC L CAPSULE.

USES OF PANSEC L CAPSULE

  • To treat gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) for short-term among patients who do not respond adequately to proton-pump inhibitors (Ex. pantoprazole, omeprazole, rabeprazole) alone
  • To treat peptic ulcer and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

HOW PANSEC L CAPSULE WORKS

PANSEC L CAPSULE reduces stomach ulcers and acid reflux, where pantoprazole acts by inhibiting the secretions of stomach acid by blocking the proton pump (H+ K+ ATPase) at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells and levosulpiride acts by facilitating gastric emptying and bowel movements by blocking the dopamine D2 receptors in the gut, thus reducing acid reflux and healing of stomach ulcers and esophageal lesions.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Take PANSEC L CAPSULE as advised by your physician. Swallow PANSEC L CAPSULE with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of PANSEC L CAPSULE for you depending upon your age, body weight and disease condition. Do not stop taking PANSEC L CAPSULE without informing your doctor.
