Indication Dosage
Pantoprazole is a medication that belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is used to treat conditions related to excessive acid production in the stomach such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach and intestinal ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Pantoprazole works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, thus relieving symptoms like heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. It is usually taken orally, and the dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific condition being treated.
