Walapan D Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Walapan D Tablet 10 comprises two active ingredients:

• Domperidone (10 mg): This is a prokinetic agent that works by enhancing the movements or contractions of the stomach and intestines. It enables faster passage of food through the stomach to the intestine, reducing feelings of bloating and indigestion.

• Pantoprazole (40 mg): It is a proton pump inhibitor that works by reducing the production of stomach acid. It does so by blocking an enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces acid. This action helps prevent damage to the stomach lining caused by acid, relieving symptoms like heartburn and difficulty swallowing.

1. Store Walapan D Tablet 10 in its original package to safeguard it from light and moisture.

2. Maintain an optimal temperature of 25°C for storage.

3. Keep the medicine out of the reach of children.

4. Always check the expiry date before taking the tablet.

• If you have acid reflux, try incorporating low-acid foods into your diet. Bananas, melons, oatmeal, and lean proteins can help manage your symptoms.

• Regular physical activity can also help deal with digestive issues. A simple walk after meals can stimulate digestion and reduce acid reflux. Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
