Cinitapride + Pantoprazole

Cinitapride + Pantoprazole is a combination medication that is used to treat acid reflux, stomach ulcers, and other gastrointestinal issues related to excess stomach acid. Cinitapride is a prokinetic agent that helps improve stomach motility, while Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production. Together, they work to reduce symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and discomfort caused by acid reflux, as well as promote healing of ulcers.

How Cinitapride + Pantoprazole works

Cinitapride works by stimulating the muscles of the stomach and intestines, improving motility and the passage of food.
