Pantofit 40 Injection provides rapid relief from excessive stomach acid in patients who cannot take oral tablets. Containing Pantoprazole 40 mg as an intravenous solution, it is commonly used in hospitals and clinics for managing severe acidity, peptic ulcers, GERD, and post-surgical acid reflux.
⚗️ Composition
- Active Ingredient: Pantoprazole Sodium Sesquihydrate (equivalent to 40 mg Pantoprazole)
- Form: Injectable solution (IV)
⚙️ How It Works
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that blocks the final step of acid production in the stomach lining by inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme. This action:
- Prevents acid reflux and heartburn
- Heals stomach and duodenal ulcers
- Controls excessive acid production (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)
IV injection ensures faster relief than oral tablets, making it ideal for emergency or hospitalized patients.
