Brief Answer:
Yes you can take pantocid Dsr

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your query and concern.

Your symptoms usually reflect acid reflux disease.

Drugs like pantoprazole/pantocid are the drugs of choice.

Yes certainly you can have Pantoprazole 20 mg DSR on empty stomach every morning for 21 days for effective results.

In case if symptoms persist beyond 21 days,its an indication of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Please note these drugs are prescription medications and should be taken only under medical supervision.

Thank you.
