PAN 40 Tablet

PAN 40 Tablet contains Pantoprazole 40 mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to manage acid-related disorders in the stomach and intestines. It is commonly prescribed to relieve conditions such as acid reflux, heartburn, peptic ulcers, and conditions involving excessive acid production like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. This medicine works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which not only helps relieve symptoms like burning sensation or discomfort but also promotes healing of ulcers and prevents their recurrence. PAN 40 is also used as a preventive treatment for people taking long-term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can irritate the stomach lining. It is effective in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, and in protecting the stomach lining from damage caused by acid. The tablet should be taken as advised by the physician, usually on an empty stomach in the morning. It must be swallowed whole with a glass of water without chewing or crushing. Most users tolerate PAN 40 well, but some may experience side effects such as nausea, headache, dizziness, bloating, or abdominal pain. These symptoms are generally mild and temporary. Inform your doctor if side effects persist or become bothersome. Long-term use may increase the risk of bone fractures or vitamin deficiencies, so supplementation and regular monitoring might be recommended. Inform your doctor if you have liver issues, low magnesium levels, or a history of osteoporosis before starting this medicine. Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding should only be done under medical supervision. PAN 40 Tablet may cause dizziness, so caution is advised while driving or operating machinery. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered, but skip it if it’s almost time for the next dose. Do not double up on doses.
