Pantop 80 Tablet

Product Overview

Pantop 80 Tablet is a medication that helps lower the production of stomach acid. It is commonly used to treat conditions related to excessive acid, such as heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The tablet not only alleviates symptoms but also supports healing.

This medicine is also helpful in preventing stomach ulcers and acid buildup that can occur when painkillers are used for a long period. It belongs to a group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is best taken about one hour before meals, preferably in the morning. Your doctor will decide the right dose based on your condition and response to treatment. Even if your symptoms improve quickly, you should continue using the medicine as directed. The effectiveness of the treatment can be improved by making dietary adjustments like eating smaller, frequent meals and avoiding caffeine, spicy, or fatty foods.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. These effects are usually mild and go away on their own. If they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. Long-term use, especially beyond one year, may increase the risk of bone fractures, particularly with higher doses. Talk to your doctor about preventing bone health issues, such as using calcium and vitamin D supplements.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have liver disease, are on medications for HIV, have a history of allergic reactions to similar drugs, or suffer from bone loss. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medicine.
