Pantoprazole is a selective “proton pump inhibitor”, a medicine which reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is used for treating acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine.
It's usual to take Pantoprazole once a day, first thing in the morning. If you take Pantoprazole twice a day, take 1 dose in the morning and 1 dose in the evening. It's best to take Pantoprazole an hour before a meal. Swallow tablets whole with a drink of water.
Pantoprazole is used to allow the esophagus to heal and prevent further damage to the esophagus in adults with GERD. It is also used to treat conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome in adults. Pantoprazole is in a class of medications called proton-pump inhibitors.
You can take Pantotaj tablets with food or on an empty stomach. Swallow Pantotaj tablets whole. If you have trouble swallowing a Pantotaj 40 mg tablet, you can take two 20 mg tablets instead. Do not split, chew, or crush Pantotaj tablets.
The more common side effects that can occur with Pantoprazole include:
• headache
• diarrhea
• stomach pain
• nausea or vomiting
• gas
• dizziness
• joint pain
The recommended starting dose is usually two tablets a day. Take the two tablets 1 hour before a meal. Your doctor may later adjust the dose, depending on the amount of stomach acid you produce. If prescribed more than two tablets a day, the tablets should be taken twice daily.
Drinking alcohol and smoking may increase acid in your stomach. Do not drink alcohol or smoke while you are taking this medicine. It may take several days for your stomach pain to improve. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, contact your healthcare provider.
