Pantogut Tablet 20 mg contains Pantoprazole Sodium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid. It is used for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and dyspepsia. By controlling excess acid secretion, it helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation, and stomach discomfort while promoting healing of the gastrointestinal lining.

Composition

Mechanism of Action

Pantoprazole works by irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme (proton pump) in the gastric parietal cells. This blocks the final step of gastric acid production, leading to a significant and sustained reduction in stomach acid levels, allowing healing of damaged gastrointestinal tissues.
