Vibpan IT Capsule SR

Vibpan-IT Capsule SR is a combination medicine containing Pantoprazole (40mg) and Itopride (150mg). It is primarily used for treating acid-related stomach and intestinal disorders. Pantoprazole reduces excess stomach acid, while Itopride improves gastric motility, providing dual relief from digestive problems. Doctors often prescribe this medicine for conditions like acid reflux, GERD, indigestion, and delayed gastric emptying. It helps improve digestion and reduces symptoms like heartburn, bloating, nausea, and abdominal discomfort, ensuring better digestive health and comfort for patients.

Uses of Vibpan-IT Capsule SR

• Nausea and Vomiting due to Delayed Gastric Emptying: Itopride in the medicine enhances gastric motility, preventing nausea and vomiting caused by slow digestion or gastroparesis conditions.
