Composition

Pantoprazole (40 Mg)

Acipan 40 MG Injection 1 is primarily used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults, particularly those with a history of erosive esophagitis who cannot take oral pantoprazole. This medication falls into the category of proton pump inhibitors.

This injection is also utilised for managing hypersecretory conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison (ZE) syndrome in adults, which results in excessive acid production in the stomach.

Before starting this medicine, you should consult your doctor about the appropriate dosage and frequency. It's crucial to let your doctor know about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications you are taking. If any side effects are observed while using this medicine, inform your doctor right away. Furthermore, you should continue using this medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Acipan 40 MG Injection 1 is used for managing the following conditions:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults who have a history of erosive esophagitis and can't take the oral form of pantoprazole.
Pathological hypersecretory conditions including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome in adults.

Redness or swelling at the injection site: Applying a cool compress to the affected area may help soothe it.

Acipan 40 MG Injection 1 contains pantoprazole (40 mg), which acts on your body through the following mechanisms:

Proton Pump Inhibition: Pantoprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by irreversibly blocking an enzyme system in your stomach known as the H+/K+ ATPase or proton pump. This inhibits both basal and stimulated acid secretion.
Gastric pH Increase: By suppressing gastric acid secretion, pantoprazole effectively increases the pH of your stomach.
Healing of Oesophageal Inflammation: Pantoprazole's action mechanism minimises the oesophagus's exposure to acidic gastric contents, allowing inflammation and other symptoms of GERD to heal over time.
