Aciban 40 Tablet 10 contains pantoprazole (40 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Blocks Proton Pump: Pantoprazole works by irreversibly inhibiting an enzyme system known as the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase), or proton pump, present in the gastric parietal cells of your stomach. This enzyme system plays a vital role in producing stomach acid.

• Suppresses Gastric Acid Secretion: By blocking the proton pump, pantoprazole effectively suppresses the secretion of gastric acid. This reduces the overall acidity levels in your stomach, providing relief from symptoms and facilitating the healing of damaged tissues.

• To manage heartburn and acid reflux, avoid trigger foods like spicy, fatty or fried items. This can prevent excess acid production in your stomach.

• Try to consume smaller, more frequent meals instead of large portions at once. This can help in reducing the pressure on your stomach, thus reducing acid reflux symptoms.
