Description:
Pantocid Tablet is a medication that helps reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is commonly used to treat acid-related conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, providing relief from symptoms and promoting healing. It is also used to prevent stomach ulcers and acidity caused by prolonged use of painkillers. Pantocid Tablet belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class of medications, which work by blocking acid production in the stomach.
Pantocid should be taken one hour before a meal, preferably in the morning. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dose based on your condition and response to the medicine. Even if your symptoms improve quickly, it is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed. To enhance the effectiveness of the treatment, consider eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoid caffeinated drinks (like tea and coffee), as well as spicy or fatty foods.
The most common side effects of Pantocid Tablet include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, flatulence, diarrhea, and stomach pain. These side effects are generally mild and tend to resolve on their own, but if they persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor. Long-term use of Pantocid may increase the risk of certain side effects, such as bone fractures, especially when taken at higher doses for more than a year. Talk to your doctor about preventive measures for bone loss, such as taking calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Before taking Pantocid , inform your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking HIV medications, have had an allergic reaction to similar medications in the past, or suffer from bone loss (osteoporosis). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication.
