About Zaspo D 30mg/40mg Capsule SR

How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Zaspo D works by combining two active ingredients: Domperidone and Pantoprazole. Domperidone helps to increase the movement of food through the stomach, which can relieve nausea and vomiting. Pantoprazole, on the other hand, decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach, helping to heal the esophagus and reduce symptoms of GERD.
In scientific terms, Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that works on the gut to enhance gastric motility. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that blocks the proton pump in the stomach lining, effectively reducing gastric acid secretion. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to managing acid-related disorders.
Key Benefits
- Reduces Stomach Acid — Pantoprazole lowers the amount of acid your stomach produces.
