Description
Pantopal tablet is a medicine used to reduce acid production in the stomach. It is used to treat ulcers and acid reflux disease, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It contains pantoprazole as an active ingredient. It reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach by blocking a pump called the proton pump in the stomach wall, which is responsible for acid formation.
Pantopal tablet should be taken on an empty stomach as prescribed by a doctor. Along with taking medicine on time, making certain lifestyle modifications can help you manage your acidity problem better. Try eating smaller meals, eating slowly, avoiding overeating, and lying down immediately after meals. Limit alcohol intake, avoid smoking, and maintain a healthy weight. Consult your doctor to determine what works best for you.
