Get 24-hour relief from heartburn and bloating with CYNZOLE DSR. A safe Pantoprazole 40mg + Domperidone 30mg capsule that treats GERD without drug interactions.
Category Name Gastroenterology — Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) + Prokinetic Agent Combination
Common Indications Cynzole DSR Capsule is used to treat a range of acid-related and motility disorders of the digestive tract, including:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD / Acid Reflux)
- Erosive esophagitis (inflammation and damage to the food pipe lining)
- Gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining)
- Gastric and duodenal ulcers
- Functional dyspepsia (indigestion with bloating, fullness, and discomfort)
- Symptoms of heartburn, regurgitation, and nausea associated with delayed gastric emptying
Common Dosing
- Standard Adult Dose: One capsule once daily, preferably 30–60 minutes before breakfast
- Duration: As prescribed by your doctor, typically 4–8 weeks depending on the condition being treated
- Sustained Release (SR) Formulation: This capsule is designed for slow, controlled release — do not crush or chew
- Elderly Patients: Use under medical supervision; dose adjustment may be required based on tolerance and organ function
Always follow your doctor's prescribed dose and duration.
Common Side Effects Cynzole DSR is generally well tolerated. The most commonly reported side effect includes:
- Dryness in mouth
Other possible effects that may occasionally occur:
- Headache
- Dizziness or drowsiness
- Nausea or mild stomach discomfort
- Diarrhea or constipation
Although rare, contact your doctor immediately if you experience palpitations, irregular heartbeat, or any unusual symptoms, as Domperidone may rarely affect heart rhythm.
Common Interactions Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking. Notable interactions include:
- QT-prolonging drugs — Macrolide Antibiotics (e.g., Erythromycin, Clarithromycin) — Concurrent use with Domperidone significantly increases the risk of potentially serious cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythm)
- Antifungal agents (e.g., Ketoconazole, Itraconazole) — Interact with both components; Domperidone combination increases cardiac risk, while Pantoprazole reduces their absorption due to lower stomach acidity
- Antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g., Amiodarone, Sotalol) — May further prolong the QT interval when combined with Domperidone; avoid concurrent use
- Warfarin (blood thinner) — Pantoprazole may elevate Warfarin levels in the blood, increasing the risk of bleeding; regular INR monitoring is essential
- Methotrexate — Pantoprazole may increase Methotrexate levels, raising the risk of toxicity, particularly at high doses
Special Instructions
| Condition | Guidance |
|---|---|
| 🤰 Pregnancy | The safety of Cynzole DSR Capsule during pregnancy has not been clearly established. Use only if the potential benefit outweighs the risk, strictly under the guidance of a qualified physician. |
| 🤱 Breastfeeding | Should be used with caution during breastfeeding. Both Domperidone and Pantoprazole may pass into breast milk. Consult your doctor before use to weigh the risks and benefits. |
| 🍺 Alcohol | Alcohol should be used with caution or preferably avoided during treatment. Alcohol can worsen acid reflux symptoms and may increase the risk of stomach irritation and drowsiness. |
| 🚗 Driving | This capsule may occasionally cause dizziness, drowsiness, or visual disturbances. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or perform tasks requiring high mental alertness if these symptoms occur. |
| 🫀 Liver Disease | Use with caution in patients with liver impairment. Both components are metabolized in the liver, and impaired liver function may increase drug exposure and the risk of side effects. Medical supervision and possible dose adjustment are recommended. |
| 🫘 Kidney Disease | Use with caution in patients with kidney disease. Reduced kidney function may affect drug elimination. A doctor should assess suitability and monitor accordingly. |
Mechanism of Action Cynzole DSR Capsule combines two medicines that work through distinct but complementary mechanisms to provide complete upper gastrointestinal relief:
- Pantoprazole (Proton Pump Inhibitor — PPI): Irreversibly inhibits the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme (the proton pump) in the stomach lining, directly suppressing the secretion of gastric acid. This reduces acidity, relieves heartburn and regurgitation, and promotes healing of ulcers and the esophagus
- Domperidone (Prokinetic Agent): Blocks dopamine receptors in the upper digestive tract and acts on the gastric motility centers, accelerating stomach emptying and improving the coordinated movement of food through the stomach and intestines. This helps relieve bloating, nausea, fullness, and the sensation of food sitting in the stomach
Together, they address both excess acid production and impaired gastric motility — the two key contributors to most upper GI complaints.
Instructions to Take
- Take this capsule 30–60 minutes before a meal, ideally before breakfast, for optimal effect
- Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water — do not crush, break, or chew, as it is a sustained-release formulation
- Take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent drug levels
- Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve earlier, to ensure proper healing
- Do not self-medicate or extend the course beyond the prescribed duration without consulting your doctor
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose — do not double up
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children
