Pantoprazole tablets are a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat acid reflux, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and related conditions caused by excess stomach acid. They work by blocking proton pumps in the stomach lining, which significantly reduces acid production. This helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and discomfort, while also allowing inflammation in the oesophagus to heal. Pantoprazole is usually taken once daily before a meal and may take a few days to reach full effect. It can be prescribed for short-term relief or longer-term management under medical supervision to prevent symptom recurrence.
Pantoprazole Tablets are what is known as a “proton pump inhibitor”. These medicines reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach. They are an effective treatment option for acid reflux symptoms, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation.
