Pantin Tablet is commonly used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease, or more simply, heartburn and acid reflux. This medicine is part of a group known as proton pump inhibitors.

Besides heartburn and acid reflux, this tablet is also used for managing peptic ulcer disease, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and for the prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding in critically ill patients. Each of these conditions involves an excess amount of acid in your stomach, which this medicine helps control.

The dosage and frequency of taking this medicine should be strictly as directed by your doctor. It's important to let your doctor know about any ongoing illness or medication before you start taking this medicine. If you notice any side effects while on this medication, inform your doctor immediately. Remember to continue taking the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Pantin Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Diarrhoea
Nausea
Abdominal pain
Dizziness
Vomiting
Flatulence: This might cause excessive gas in the stomach or intestines, leading to discomfort or bloating.

In rare cases, you might face serious side effects such as:

Severe allergic reactions: These can include skin rash, itching, swelling or difficulty breathing.
Severe diarrhoea
Muscle spasms or seizures: These could be a sign of low magnesium levels in your body.
Unusual bruising or bleeding
Jaundice

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Pantin Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Try taking Pantin Tablet with food. This might help lessen the effect.
Abdominal pain: If you notice this side effect, consider taking Pantin Tablet after meals to alleviate discomfort.

Pantin Tablet contains Pantoprazole (40 mg), which works on your body as follows:

Inhibits H+/K+ ATPase: Pantoprazole inhibits an enzyme system known as hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase) in your stomach. This system is often called the gastric proton pump.
Reduces Gastric Acid: By inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system, pantoprazole effectively reduces the production of gastric acid in your stomach. This allows the esophagus and stomach lining to heal from damage caused by excessive acid.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Pantin Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Limited data is available on the use of Pantin Tablet during breastfeeding. Therefore, it is advisable to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Alcohol

While taking Pantin Tablet, it is recommended to limit your alcohol intake as it may worsen certain side effects such as dizziness.

Liver

If you have liver health issues, caution is advised before using Pantin Tablet, as pantoprazole is primarily metabolised by the liver. Always consult your doctor if you have liver problems before starting this medication.

Kidney

There are no known kidney-related issues with Pantin Tablet. However, it's always wise to discuss any kidney health concerns with your doctor before starting any new medication.

Using Machines & Driving

Pantin Tablet may cause dizziness as a side effect. If you experience this, avoid driving or operating machinery until you feel normal again.

Allergy

Pantin Tablet is contraindicated if you have known hypersensitivity to pantoprazole or any other components of the formulation. If you have allergies, it's important to inform your doctor before starting this medication.

Children

Pantin Tablet should be used with caution in children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Pantin Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Pantin Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Antiretroviral medicines: Pantin Tablet may reduce the effectiveness of antiretroviral medications like atazanavir and nelfinavir, which are used to manage HIV/AIDS.
Blood thinners: When taken together with blood thinners such as warfarin, Pantin Tablet could potentially increase the risk of bleeding.
Antifungal medicines: The absorption of antifungal medicines like ketoconazole and itraconazole can be reduced when taken with Pantin Tablet, decreasing their effectiveness.
Methotrexate: Pantin Tablet can increase the levels of methotrexate in the blood, potentially leading to more side effects.
Heart medications: Taking Pantin Tablet alongside digoxin, a heart medication, could lead to an increased concentration of digoxin in the blood.

Drug-Food Interactions

Pantin Tablet does not have any known significant interactions with food.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Pantin Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Liver disease: As Pantin Tablet is primarily metabolised by the liver, it should be used cautiously in patients with liver disease. The dosage may need to be adjusted for those with severe liver impairment.
Bone fractures: Long-term use (more than 1 year) of Pantin Tablet may lead to an increased risk of fractures in the hip, wrist or spine, especially in older adults or those with osteoporosis.

Daily Dose

Your daily dose of Pantin Tablet should be as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage might vary, depending on factors like the severity of your condition and your response to the medicine. It's crucial not to go beyond the prescribed dosage without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

In case you accidentally take more than the prescribed dose of Pantin Tablet, you might experience symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness, blurred vision, rapid heartbeat, and nausea. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your Pantin Tablet at the appointed time, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosage schedule. Don't increase the dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Pantin Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
Keep it protected from light and moisture.
Always keep the medicine in its original packaging until time to take it.
Ensure it’s kept out of reach of children.
Use this medicine before its expiry date.

Since Pantin Tablet is taken primarily for managing acid-related conditions, try to avoid foods that trigger heartburn. These might include spicy dishes, fatty foods, citrus fruits, and caffeinated drinks.
Regular exercise can help manage your weight, which is beneficial as obesity can exacerbate acid reflux symptoms. However, avoid vigorous activities soon after meals as they may induce heartburn.
