How it works:
• PENTALOC-DSR CAP BOX is a combination medicine that helps to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. It works by targeting different aspects of pain and its underlying causes.
  
  Pantoprazole: This is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It reduces the amount of acid your stomach produces. This is helpful because excess stomach acid can irritate the stomach lining and worsen pain, especially if the pain is related to indigestion or ulcers.
  
  Domperidone: This is an antiemetic. It helps to speed up the movement of food through your stomach and intestines. This can relieve nausea and vomiting, which often accompany pain and inflammation.
  
  Diclofenac Sodium SR: This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing inflammation and pain directly at the site of the problem. The "SR" stands for sustained release, meaning the medicine is released slowly over time, providing longer-lasting pain relief.
  
  In short, PENTALOC-DSR CAP BOX combines a stomach acid reducer, an anti-nausea medication, and a long-lasting pain and inflammation reliever to provide comprehensive relief from various types of pain, especially those that may be associated with stomach irritation. The ingredients work together to address both the symptoms (pain, nausea) and a potential underlying cause (excess stomach acid).
