PANZIUM 40MG CAP

Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid. It blocks the enzyme in the stomach wall that produces acid, resulting in decreased acid production. This helps alleviate symptoms associated with excess stomach acid, such as heartburn, indigestion, and damage to the esophagus. Pantoprazole is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, which all involve excessive acidity in the stomach. It is crucial to follow prescription instructions and complete the treatment course to ensure the medication works effectively. Like other PPIs, Pantoprazole may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and headaches. It is recommended to consult a doctor if these side effects persist. If you have any further questions about Pantoprazole or its mechanism of action, please let me know.
