Brief Answer:
Adding a prokinetic agent will help

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
After the H.Pylori treatment, it would be good to do an Urea Breath Test to ensure that the H.Pylori is eradicated.
Symptoms of GERD may become worse after H.pylori treatment. Along with Pantoprazole, it is better to take metoclopramide to reduce the symptoms.
For constipation, you can take an osmotic laxative like Movicol.
Best wishes,

Brief Answer:
OTC in some countries

Detailed Answer:
Brand names vary from country to country.
Metoclopramide (Primperan ) is a prokinetic agent which increases XXXXXXX pressure and decreases reflux and also makes the stomach emptying faster. It is an allopathic ( modern ) medicine and can be bought in a pharmacy like Movicol.
