Composition

Levosulpiride (75 Mg) + Pantoprazole (40 Mg)

Tabopan L Capsule 10 is primarily used to manage symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyspepsia that don't respond well to pantoprazole treatment alone. This combination medication is part of the proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents group of medicines.

In addition to managing GERD and dyspepsia, it also helps with heartburn, acid reflux, non-ulcer dyspepsia, and delayed gastric emptying. These are conditions that can cause discomfort in the upper abdomen, indigestion, and acidity.

The medicine should be taken orally as directed by your doctor. Be sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this capsule. If you notice any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately. It's essential to continue taking the capsules for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Tabopan L Capsule 10 is used for managing the following conditions:

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in cases when pantoprazole alone does not provide sufficient relief
Heartburn and acid reflux symptoms
Non-ulcer dyspepsia, a condition causing indigestion and discomfort in the upper abdomen
Delayed gastric emptying, a condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents

Directions for Use of Tabopan L Capsule 10

Swallow it whole with a glass of water.
Avoid crushing, chewing or opening the capsule.
Please consult your doctor for personalised advice on taking this medicine.

Tabopan L Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Tabopan L Capsule 10 may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Dizziness
Fatigue
Diarrhoea
Nausea
Abdominal Pain
Dry Mouth

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Tabopan L Capsule 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Try taking Tabopan L Capsule 10 with meals to lessen this effect.
Dry Mouth: Sip water regularly throughout the day.

Tabopan L Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

Pantoprazole (40 mg): Belonging to the proton pump inhibitor class of medicines, pantoprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system ('proton pump') in the gastric parietal cells. This action reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Levosulpiride (75 mg): This prokinetic agent increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food pass through more efficiently. It also acts as an atypical antipsychotic, blocking dopamine receptors in the gut and chemoreceptor trigger zone. This activity reduces nausea, vomiting, and acid reflux.

Together, these ingredients help increase gut motility while reducing gastric acid secretion, providing relief from GERD symptoms.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant Tabopan L Capsule 10 should only be taken if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to your unborn baby. Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

Both levosulpiride and pantoprazole, the active ingredients in Tabopan L Capsule 10, are excreted in human milk. You should make a decision about continuing to breastfeed or stopping the medication after discussing it with your doctor.
