What is Pantoprazole?
Pantoprazole containing the active ingredient pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate is considered a proton pump inhibitors type of medication. The medication works by preventing the action of proton pumps to reduce the production of acid in the stomach. It can be used to treat symptoms of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), where the backwards flow of stomach acid causes injury to the esophagus and heartburn. It can help the esophagus heal and to prevent ulcers and further damage to the esophagus. Some people may also use the tablets to treat other conditions involving excess stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

How is Pantoprazole used?
Pantoprazole is usually taken orally 1 to 2 times per day or as directed by a doctor. The medication should be taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before a meal along with a full glass of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. The tablets should always be swallowed whole and not broken, chewed or crushed as doing so may destroy the drug.

  • Headaches
