Application
It helps treat painful symptoms caused by conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). With GERD, gastric juices flow upward from your stomach and into the esophagus. Pantoprazole oral tablet is also used to treat other conditions in which the stomach makes excess acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
General Description
Pantoprazole, first sold under the brand name Protonix, is a medication used for the treatment of stomach ulcers, short-term treatment of erosive esophagitis due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis, and pathological hypersecretory conditions including Zollinger–Ellison syndrome.[2] It may also be used along with other medications to eliminate Helicobacter pylori.[3] It is available by mouth and by injection into a vein.[2] Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and joint pain.[2] More serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, a type of chronic inflammation known as atrophic gastritis, Clostridium difficile infection, low magnesium, and vitamin B-12 deficiency.[2] Use in pregnancy appears to be safe.[2] Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that decreases gastric acid secretion.[2] It works by inactivating (H+/K+)-ATPase function in the stomach.
