Welldom-DSR capsule is a specialized prescription capsule formulated to manage gastrointestinal disorders characterized by excessive acid production, nausea, and delayed stomach emptying. Each capsule contains a dual-ingredient formulation: Pantoprazole (40 mg) in an enteric-coated (EC) form and Domperidone (30 mg) in a sustained-release (SR) format.
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by irreversibly blocking the enzyme systems responsible for gastric acid secretion in the stomach wall. The enteric coating ensures the medication bypasses stomach acid to dissolve safely in the intestine, effectively reducing heartburn, acid reflux, and mucosal irritation. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that accelerates gastric motility, enhancing the movement of food through the digestive tract while blocking dopamine receptors in the brain’s chemoreceptor trigger zone to prevent nausea and vomiting. The sustained-release delivery of domperidone provides steady, prolonged relief from upper digestive discomfort throughout the day.
This combination is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and gastritis. It is typically recommended to be taken on an empty stomach, usually in the morning, to optimize acid control and digestive comfort.
