Adipan CT 3mg/40mg Tablet is a combination of pantoprazole and cinitapride. Pantoprazole works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps prevent irritation and damage to the food pipe. Cinitapride improves the movement of the stomach and intestines and helps strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing the backflow of stomach contents into the food pipe. Together, they reduce acid reflux and improve digestive movement.
