Pantocid 20 mg is used for the treatment of stomach acid-related problems. It contains the active ingredient pantoprazole, which is categorized under the class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. It works by reducing the amount of acid the stomach produces to provide symptomatic relief and allow healing to occur.
Pantocid 20 mg treats:
- Stomach ulcer - Also known as Gastric ulcer, stomach ulcer is an open sore that develops in the lining of your stomach.
- Duodenal ulcer - A duodenal ulcer develops in the duodenum, a tube leading out of the stomach. A duodenal ulcer caused by the bacteria H.pylori.
- Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) - It is a condition in which acid backs up into the esophagus. It brings a burning sensation in the chest that reaches the throat, causing heartburn.
- Reflux esophagitis - Pantocid is also used to prevent severe heartburn.
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome - During this condition, the stomach releases very large amounts of acid, much more than in reflux disease and ulcers.
This medicine also effectively prevents ulcers associated with using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These medications relieve swelling, pain, and other inflammatory symptoms, including arthritis.
