CINTODAC CAPSULE by ZYDUS CADILA
Cintodac Capsule is a prescription medicine manufactured by Zydus Cadila, primarily used to manage various gastrointestinal disorders. It is a combination medication that works to reduce stomach acid production and enhance gastrointestinal motility.
-
Composition: Each capsule contains Pantoprazole 40mg and Cinitapride 3mg. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, while Cinitapride is a prokinetic agent that helps prevent acid reflux by promoting the movement of food through the digestive tract and enhancing gastrointestinal motility.
-
Uses: Cintodac Capsule is prescribed for the treatment of several conditions, including:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), which causes heartburn and acid reflux.
- Indigestion (dyspepsia).
- Duodenal ulcers and peptic ulcers.
- Erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the lining of the oesophagus).
- Infections caused by Helicobacter pylori, when given along with an antibiotic.
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a condition causing excessive stomach acid due to tumors.
-
Dosage and Administration: Typically, one Cintodac Capsule is taken once daily, 30-60 minutes before a meal, preferably in the morning. The capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. The exact dosage and duration will be determined by a doctor based on the patient's medical condition.
-
Side Effects: Common side effects may include headache, flatulence, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, bloating, and dizziness. Less common but serious side effects can include liver problems, changes in blood counts, severe skin reactions, muscle pain, jaundice, osteoporosis, hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels), and reduced absorption of vitamin B12 with long-term use.
-

- Do not take if allergic to any components of Cintodac Capsule.
- Caution is advised for patients with severe liver or kidney problems.
- Cintodac Capsule should not be given to children as its safety and effectiveness have not been established.
- Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medicine, as it can increase stomach acid production and may intensify dizziness.
- May cause dizziness; therefore, caution is advised when driving or operating machinery.
- Consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Long-term treatment may lead to osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia.
- Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, or herbal products being taken to avoid potential drug interactions.
-

Frequently Asked Questions
CINTODAC CAPSULE by ZYDUS CADILA: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cintodac Capsule used for?
Cintodac Capsule is primarily used to treat various gastrointestinal conditions related to excessive stomach acid and motility issues. These include gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, duodenal ulcers, erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the oesophagus lining), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is also used in conjunction with antibiotics to treat infections caused by Helicobacter pylori.
How does Cintodac Capsule work?
Cintodac Capsule contains two active ingredients: Pantoprazole and Cinitapride. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the production of stomach acid. Cinitapride is a prokinetic agent that enhances gastrointestinal motility, helping food move forward in the digestive tract and preventing the back-flow of food and acid from the stomach into the oesophagus.
What is the usual dosage of Cintodac Capsule?
The dosage and duration of Cintodac Capsule should be strictly as advised by your doctor, based on your specific medical condition and response to the medicine. It is typically recommended to take Cintodac Capsule on an empty stomach, preferably 30-60 minutes before a meal, swallowed whole with a glass of water without crushing or chewing.
What are the possible side effects of Cintodac Capsule?
Common side effects of Cintodac Capsule may include headache, flatulence, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, bloating, and dizziness. Most of these side effects are usually mild and tend to resolve over time. However, if any side effects persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult your doctor.
Is Cintodac Capsule safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There is limited information available regarding the safety of Cintodac Capsule during pregnancy, and it is generally advised to be avoided. Similarly, it is not recommended during breastfeeding as its components may pass into breast milk and could have unwanted effects on the infant. It is crucial to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can Cintodac Capsule be taken with other medications?
Cintodac Capsule may interact with several medications. It can decrease the efficacy of anti-HIV medications like atazanavir and nelfinavir. Pantoprazole, one of its components, can interact with anticoagulants such as warfarin, potentially leading to abnormal bleeding. It may also increase the levels of cardiac glycosides like digoxin and methotrexate, increasing the risk of toxicity. Always inform your doctor about all other medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.
What precautions should be taken while using Cintodac Capsule?
Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Cintodac Capsule as it can increase stomach acid production and may worsen dizziness. The medicine may cause dizziness, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Inform your doctor if you have severe liver or kidney problems. Long-term treatment with Cintodac Capsule may lead to osteoporosis (bone fractures), hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels), and reduced absorption of vitamin B12. This medicine is not recommended for children as its safety and effectiveness have not been established.
What happens if a dose of Cintodac Capsule is missed?
If you miss a dose of Cintodac Capsule, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to compensate for a missed dose.
How should Cintodac Capsule be stored?
Cintodac Capsule should be stored in a cool and dry place, protected from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat. Keep it out of sight and reach of children and pets. Dispose of any unused or expired medication properly as advised by local regulations.
