Pantocid 40 MG Description

Pantocid 40 tablet reduces stomach acid production. It relieves symptoms and promotes healing in acid-related conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is also used to prevent stomach ulcers and acidity caused by long-term pain medication use.

Pantocid is classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). The active ingredient in Pantocid 40 is pantoprazole. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps prevent ulcers and reduces the backflow of acid that causes heartburn and acidity problems.

A few other medicines with pantoprazole as their main ingredient are Pantodac 40mg tablet, Pantosec 40mg tablet, Pantakind 40mg tablet, Pantop 40mg tablet and Pan 40mg tablet.

Pantocid 40 tablets should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. They should usually be taken first thing in the morning or at least an hour before a meal. Do not miss any dose or take them more often than prescribed by your doctor.
