Product introduction
Pantium 40 Tablet is a medication that helps lower the production of stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed to treat conditions related to excess acid in the stomach and intestines, such as acidity, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By reducing acid levels, it provides relief from discomfort and supports the healing of these conditions.

It is also used to prevent ulcers and acid-related issues that may occur when taking painkillers for a long duration. Pantium 40 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). For best results, it should be taken on an empty stomach, ideally in the morning, about one hour before a meal. The dosage will be based on your health condition and your response to the treatment. Even if your symptoms improve quickly, you should continue taking it as directed by your doctor. To enhance its effectiveness, try to eat smaller, frequent meals and avoid caffeine, spicy food, and fatty meals.

Some common side effects that may occur include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, dizziness, and stomach pain. These are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or cause discomfort, seek medical advice. Using this medicine for a prolonged period may increase certain risks, such as bone fractures, especially if taken for more than a year. Your doctor may suggest calcium and vitamin D supplements to prevent bone-related problems.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any serious liver conditions, are on HIV medicines, have had allergic reactions to similar drugs in the past, or suffer from bone-related conditions like osteoporosis. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also take it only after consulting a doctor.
