Product introduction
Gorcid Capsule is a medicine that is used to treat conditions like acid reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and indigestion with symptoms like heartburn, bloating, and regurgitation. It works by lowering acid production and helping the stomach empty faster.
Take Gorcid Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily before breakfast. Swallow it whole with water; do not crush or chew. To get the best results, maintain a healthy diet, avoid late-night meals, caffeine, spicy or oily foods, and stop smoking or alcohol use. Do not skip doses or stop early, even if you feel better, as that may lead to a return of the symptoms.
The most common side effect of Gorcid Capsule is dry mouth. It may also cause headache, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, or mild stomach discomfort in some people. These are usually temporary. If you experience persistent vomiting, irregular heartbeat, rash, or severe diarrhea, contact your doctor immediately. Staying hydrated and taking the medicine before meals may help reduce stomach-related side effects.
Inform your doctor about any liver, kidney, or heart problems before starting Gorcid Capsule. Avoid taking it with other drugs that may affect heart rhythm or interact with domperidone or pantoprazole. Do not use it if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or obstruction, or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.

Benefits of Gorcid Capsule
In Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gorcid Capsule helps relieve the burning sensation and discomfort caused by acid reflux by reducing excess acid in the stomach. It prevents acid from flowing back into the food pipe, easing heartburn and irritation. With regular use as prescribed, it helps improve digestion and allows you to eat and sleep more comfortably.
In Treatment of Erosive esophagitis
In erosive esophagitis, the lining of the food pipe becomes inflamed or damaged due to repeated acid exposure. Gorcid Capsule promotes healing by lowering stomach acid levels and preventing further irritation. It helps relieve pain, burning, and difficulty swallowing, allowing the esophagus to recover and function normally.
In Treatment of Gastritis
In patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers, Gorcid Capsule helps reduce excess stomach acid and gives the stomach lining time to heal from inflammation or ulcers. It helps relieve pain, bloating, and nausea associated with gastritis and ulcer disease. When used regularly in combination with lifestyle changes, it supports faster healing, restores comfort, and helps prevent recurrence.
In Treatment of Indigestion
Gorcid Capsule helps relieve symptoms of indigestion such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, upper abdominal discomfort, and a feeling of fullness after meals. It helps control acid production and improves stomach movement and helps empty the stomach more effectively. This way it improves digestion, reduces discomfort, and helps you feel lighter and more at ease after eating.

How Gorcid Capsule works
Gorcid Capsule is a combination of two medicines: domperidone and pantoprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that acts on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to pass more easily through the stomach. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, helping relieve acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

It works by improving the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food pass more easily through the digestive tract. It also reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, providing relief from acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
Is it safe to use Gorcid Capsule?
Gorcid Capsule is safe for most of the patients. However, in some patients, it may cause common side effects like diarrhea, stomach pain, flatulence, dryness in the mouth, dizziness, headache, and other uncommon and rare side effects. If you experience any persistent problem while taking this medication, inform your doctor.
Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Gorcid Capsule?
The use of Gorcid Capsule is considered to be harmful for patients with a known hypersensitivity to pantoprazole or domperidone, or any other inactive ingredients of the medicine. Caution is advised in patients with underlying kidney or liver disease.
Can the use of Gorcid Capsule cause dry mouth?
Yes, the use of Gorcid Capsule can cause dry mouth. If you experience dry mouth, drink plenty of water. Take regular sips of water during the day and keep some water on your bedside at night. Cut down the intake of alcohol and avoid smoking. If you have a dry mouth, try to use alcohol-free mouthwash as its use can increase the risk of tooth decay.
