Pantoprazole Tablets [28 tablets]

£ 8.39

Pantoprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining that produce acid. These pumps play a key role in acid production, and by inhibiting their function, pantoprazole significantly reduces the amount of acid released into the stomach. This helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion while also allowing the oesophagus or stomach lining to heal in cases of ulcers or inflammation.

Medication details

Description

Pantoprazole tablets are a trusted remedy for managing conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). By reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces, they help alleviate discomfort and promote healing of the oesophagus. Belonging to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), pantoprazole offers effective relief from acid-related issues.

For personalised advice and more detailed information, always consult your healthcare provider and refer to the patient information leaflet that accompanies your medication.

Directions

To get the best results from pantoprazole, take one tablet daily, preferably in the morning before eating. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water - do not chew, crush, or break it, as this may interfere with how the medication works. The usual course of treatment depends on the condition being treated. For mild acid reflux or indigestion, treatment may last a few weeks, while for more chronic conditions like GORD, your doctor may advise longer use. Always follow the dosage and treatment duration recommended by your healthcare provider.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in each tablet is pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate. Inactive components may include calcium stearate, crospovidone, hypromellose, iron oxide, mannitol, methacrylic acid copolymer, and polysorbate 80.

Side Effects

While pantoprazole is generally well-tolerated, some individuals might experience side effects. Common side effects include headaches, diarrhoea, stomach pain, or nausea. These symptoms are usually mild and temporary. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, it's important to consult your healthcare provider promptly.

Warnings

Before starting pantoprazole, inform your doctor if you have any liver problems or if you're taking other medications, as interactions may occur. It's also essential to mention if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, to ensure the treatment is suitable for you. Always follow your doctor's instructions and read the patient information leaflet provided with the medication.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How long does it take for pantoprazole to work?

Many individuals notice improvement in their symptoms within a few days of starting pantoprazole. However, it may take up to four weeks for the medication to achieve its full effect. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Can I take pantoprazole with other medications?

Pantoprazole can interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their effectiveness. It's crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all the medicines you're currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.

Is it safe to consume alcohol while taking pantoprazole?

While alcohol doesn't directly interact with pantoprazole, it can increase stomach acid production and may exacerbate your symptoms. It's advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while undergoing treatment to achieve the best results.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
