Proceptin 40 mg/vial is an advanced proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat a variety of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. It is highly effective in reducing gastric acid secretion and is indicated for the treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers, NSAID-induced ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), severe reflux esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and Helicobacter pylori-associated peptic ulcers. It can also be used prophylactically to prevent acid aspiration during surgery.

Proceptin contains Pantoprazole Sodium, which works by selectively inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system (H+/K+ ATPase) in gastric parietal cells. This results in a potent and long-lasting reduction of gastric acid secretion. The onset of antisecretory action occurs within one hour, peaks at two hours, and the effect may last up to 72 hours. Upon discontinuation, normal acid secretion gradually resumes over 3–5 days.

Proceptin 40 mg/vial is available as a lyophilized powder for intravenous injection or infusion, making it ideal for patients who cannot take oral medications, such as those with severe esophagitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, or during perioperative care.

Indications

Proceptin 40 mg/vial is indicated for:

• Duodenal and gastric ulcers, including those induced by NSAIDs

• Prevention of NSAID-associated ulcers in high-risk patients

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including long-term management

• Severe reflux esophagitis with ulcers

• Dyspepsia caused by gastric acid

• Prevention of acid aspiration during general anesthesia

• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES)

• Helicobacter pylori eradication as part of combination therapy with antibiotics

Therapeutic Class

• Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)

Pharmacology

Pantoprazole Sodium in Proceptin inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system in gastric parietal cells, suppressing acid secretion at its source. This results in:

• Rapid reduction of gastric acidity

• Healing of acid-related mucosal lesions

• Long-lasting acid suppression for up to 72 hours

By controlling gastric acid, Proceptin effectively alleviates symptoms, promotes ulcer healing, and prevents recurrence in chronic gastrointestinal conditions.

Dosage and Administration

Oral Therapy (if applicable):

• Duodenal ulcer: 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks

• Gastric ulcer: 20 mg once daily for 8 weeks; severe cases may require 40 mg daily

• GERD: 20–40 mg daily for 4–8 weeks, maintenance 20 mg daily

• ZES: 60 mg daily, adjusted individually up to 120 mg

Intravenous Therapy:

• Reconstitute 40 mg lyophilized powder with 10 ml water for injection

• Administer IV injection slowly over 2–5 minutes or IV infusion over 20–30 minutes

• IV infusion: Dissolve in 100 ml of 0.9% saline (use within 12 hours) or 5% dextrose (use within 6 hours)

• Prophylaxis of acid aspiration: 40 mg IV one hour before surgery

Pediatric Use:

• Children >1 year with severe reflux esophagitis: 10–40 mg once daily depending on weight
