Pantogut Tablet 40 mg contains Pantoprazole Sodium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces gastric acid secretion. It is commonly used in the management of acid-related disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and erosive esophagitis. The higher strength formulation is suitable for more severe conditions requiring stronger acid suppression and faster symptom control.

Composition

• Pantoprazole Sodium 40 mg

Pantogut Tablet 40 mg is indicated for:

Mechanism of Action

Pantoprazole works by irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme (proton pump) located in the gastric parietal cells. This blocks the final step of acid production, resulting in a significant and long-lasting reduction in gastric acid secretion, allowing healing of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
