Description
Pantosec tablet is a medicine that helps reduce the excess acid produced in the stomach. It contains pantoprazole as its active ingredient, which belongs to the class of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Blocking the proton pump in the stomach lining prevents acid secretion, thereby relieving symptoms of acidity, heartburn, and related disorders.
It is mainly used for the treatment of gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger–Ellison syndrome, and inflammation of the oesophagus (oesophagitis) caused by stomach acid. Long-term use should be monitored for vitamin B12 deficiency and magnesium levels.
Pantosec tablet should be taken on an empty stomach, usually 1 hour before food, for best results. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, break, or crush it. The medicine should be taken regularly as advised by your doctor. Alongside treatment, making certain lifestyle modifications such as eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy or oily foods, limiting alcohol, quitting smoking, and managing stress can improve the effectiveness of therapy.
