Patient Guide: Aciloc D Tablet

Overview Aciloc D Tablet is a prescription medication manufactured by Cipla, containing two active ingredients: Domperidone (10mg) and Pantoprazole (40mg). This medication is designed to provide relief from acid reflux, pain, and promote general health.

Uses Aciloc D Tablet is used to treat the following conditions:

• Acid reflux: a condition where stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort.
• Pain relief: the medication helps to reduce pain and discomfort associated with acid reflux and other gastrointestinal issues.
