Pantocid Tablet is used to manage various acid-related conditions such as:

3. Peptic ulcer disease: Open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach or small intestine, often caused by excessive stomach acid.

4. Excessive stomach acid production: Pantocid Tablet helps regulate the amount of acid produced in the stomach, providing relief from acidity and related symptoms.

To use Pantocid Tablet:

Pantocid Tablet is taken orally, which means it is swallowed with water. It is not meant to be injected or applied topically.

Pantocid Tablet contains pantoprazole as its active ingredient. Pantoprazole belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

Here's how it works:

• Pantoprazole reduces gastric acid secretion by blocking the actions of a protein membrane called H+K+Atpase (proton pump) in the stomach lining.
• By inhibiting this proton pump, pantoprazole decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
• This reduction in stomach acid helps heal peptic ulcers and relieves symptoms of gastrointestinal issues like acid reflux and heartburn.
• Pantoprazole's effect on gastric acid production also helps alleviate pain while swallowing.

Overall, pantoprazole provides relief from acidity-related symptoms and promotes the healing of the stomach and oesophagus.
