FDA approval of pantoprazole
Pantoprazole has received FDA approval for the treatment of certain gastrointestinal conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Active ingredient of pantoprazole and mechanism of action
The active ingredient in pantoprazole is pantoprazole sodium. It belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Pantoprazole works by reducing the production of stomach acid. It specifically inhibits the enzyme H+/K+-ATPase in the gastric parietal cells, which leads to a decrease in gastric acid secretion.
Uses of pantoprazole
Pantoprazole is primarily used for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions, including:
- Heartburn, acid reflux
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Erosive esophagitis
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
- Stomach ulcers
It may also be used in combination with antibiotics for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.
Forms of pantoprazole
Pantoprazole is available in various forms, including oral tablets and oral suspension. The specific form and strength will depend on the intended use and the formulation of the medication.
Dosage of pantoprazole
The dosage of pantoprazole will vary depending on the specific condition being treated, the severity of symptoms, and individual patient factors. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. If you forget to take a dose of pantoprazole, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at your normal time. Typically, the recommended adult dose for GERD is 40 mg once daily for up to 8 weeks. Take pantoprazole an hour before a meal, and swallow the tablets whole with a drink of water. You may take antacids with pantoprazole.
