Pantop 40 Tablet 15's

Introduction About PANTOP 40MG TABLET

PANTOP 40MG TABLET contains Pantoprazole, which belongs to the group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. It is commonly prescribed to manage conditions caused by excess stomach acid such as acidity, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is also prescribed to control stomach ulcers and acidity that can occur with long-term use of painkillers. Pantoprazole works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, thereby providing relief from symptoms associated with these acid-related disorders.

For optimal effect, take this medicine one hour before meals, preferably in the morning. The dosage will be determined by your doctor based on your medical condition and response to management. Continue taking PANTOP 40MG TABLET as directed, even if your symptoms improve quickly. You can help enhance the effectiveness of your management by eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding caffeinated beverages (such as tea and coffee), as well as spicy or fatty foods.  

The most common side effects observed with this medicine include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, flatulence, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation, and rash. These effects are usually mild, but if they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. Prolonged use of this medication may increase the risk of certain side effects, for example, taking it for more than one year, especially at higher doses, may raise your risk of bone fractures. Discuss management measures for bone loss, such as calcium and vitamin D supplementation, with your doctor if you require long-term management.

Before taking PANTOP 40MG TABLET, inform your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking medicines for HIV, have a history of allergic reactions to pantoprazole or other proton pump inhibitors, or suffer from bone loss (osteoporosis). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it.
