Pan 40 vs Pan D: price, salt & differences
Pan 40 is plain pantoprazole 40 mg, which reduces stomach acid. Pan D adds domperidone 30 mg (sustained release), which speeds up stomach emptying and relieves nausea and bloating – so it is prescribed when acidity comes with vomiting or a heavy, full feeling after meals. Pan D costs ₹261.9 for 15 capsules against ₹192.8 for 15 tablets for Pan 40, and domperidone has its own heart-rhythm cautions; ask your doctor or pharmacist before switching.

Frequently asked questions
Pan 40 और Pan D में क्या अंतर है?
Pan 40 में सिर्फ pantoprazole 40 mg है जो acid कम करता है। Pan D में pantoprazole के साथ domperidone 30 mg भी है, जो उल्टी, जी मिचलाना और पेट भारी लगने में मदद करता है। Pan D की कीमत ₹261.9 (15 capsules) और Pan 40 की ₹192.8 (15 tablets) है।
Who should take Pan D instead of Pan 40?
Pan D is for people whose acidity comes with nausea, vomiting, bloating or a feeling that food is sitting in the stomach. If you only have heartburn or are on a long-term acid-reduction course, plain Pan 40 is usually what the doctor prescribes.
Can I take Pan D every day for months?
No. The domperidone in Pan D is meant for short courses – often a week – because longer use and higher doses can affect heart rhythm. Pan 40 alone can be used for longer courses under a doctor's care.
Is Pan D stronger than Pan 40 for acidity?
Not for acid itself – both contain the same 40 mg of pantoprazole. Pan D feels 'stronger' only because domperidone separately relieves nausea and bloating.
Pan D is a capsule and Pan 40 is a tablet – does that matter?
Pan D is a capsule with coated sustained-release pellets, so it must be swallowed whole and never opened or chewed. Pan 40 is an enteric-coated tablet that is also swallowed whole. Both are taken 30–60 minutes before breakfast.
Which is cheaper?
Pan 40 at ₹12.85 per tablet is cheaper than Pan D at ₹17.46 per capsule. The Jan Aushadhi generic of pantoprazole is ₹11.35 for 10 tablets (₹1.14 per tablet) and of pantoprazole + domperidone is ₹20.63 for 10 capsules (₹2.06 per capsule).
