Pantoprazole 20mg Tablets information
What Is Pantoprazole 20mg?
Pantoprazole 20mg is a medicine to reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. It helps relieve heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. It can also be used to stop ulcers developing in people who have to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) over a long period of time.
Can I Use Pantoprazole?
Pantoprazole is typically suitable for most adults, but may not be suitable if you have liver problems or take specific medications. A quick and easy online consultation can help you figure out if you can use Pantoprazole. This can confirm if it’s safe for you.
Is Pantoprazole The Same As Omeprazole?
No, Pantoprazole is not the same as Omeprazole. While Pantoprazole and Omeprazole work similarly to reduce stomach acid, they contain different active ingredients. Different people may get on better with one than the other, depending on their symptoms and medical history.
How Does Pantoprazole Work?
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. To reduce acid levels in the stomach, it blocks an enzyme in the stomach lining that produces acid. This helps relieve your unwanted symptoms, such as heartburn, and protects your stomach from irritation and from ulcers developing.
How To Take Pantoprazole?
Take Pantoprazole on an empty stomach about an hour before food. Swallow the tablet whole with water and never chew or crush it. You should always take it exactly as your prescriber tells you to.
Ingredients
The active substance is pantoprazole. Each gastro-resistant tablet contains 20mg of pantoprazole (as sodium sesquihydrate).
The other ingredients in the core are sodium carbonate, mannitol, crospovidone (type B), hydroxypropylcellulose and calcium stearate.
The ingredients in the tablet coating are hypromellose, yellow iron oxide (E172), methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer (1:1) dispersion 30%, sodium laurilsulfate, polysorbate 80 and triethyl citrate.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Pantoprazole can cause side effects, though you may not experience all of them. Common side effects include:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Diarrhoea
- Feeling sick or vomiting
- Bloating and wind
- Constipation
- Dry mouth
- Abdominal pain and discomfort
- Skin rash
- Itching
- Feeling weak, exhausted or generally unwell
- Sleep disorder
Warnings
You shouldn’t take Pantoprazole if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients in it. Tell your prescriber if you have liver problems, low magnesium, or osteoporosis. Using Pantoprazole long-term can negatively impact your vitamin B12 levels or bone strength. Pantoprazole can also interact with different medications, so you should speak to your prescriber about any that you take.
Pantoprazole 20mg Tablet FAQs
What Is Pantoprazole?
Pantoprazole is a prescription medication that reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes. It’s part of a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors and is used for treating acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine.
Do I Need A Prescription For Pantoprazole?
Yes, Pantoprazole is a prescription-only medication, so you need to speak to a licensed prescriber, like a pharmacist or doctor, before using it. They can make sure that Pantoprazole is right for your situation.
What Conditions Can Pantoprazole Be Used To Treat?
Pantoprazole treats acid reflux, heartburn, and inflammation of the oesophagus (food pipe). It is also used to prevent duodenal and stomach ulcers caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients at risk who need to take NSAIDs continuously.
Can I Take Pantoprazole With Other Medications?
Pantoprazole can influence other medications' effectiveness, so before taking Pantoprazole, you should tell your prescriber about any other medications you take. Tell them about any other medicines, including any you’ve got without a prescription.
When Should I Take Pantoprazole?
You should take Pantoprazole exactly as directed by your prescriber. Typically, this is once a day, about an hour before a meal. Swallow the tablet whole with water, without chewing or breaking it.
Is Pantoprazole Safe For Long Term Use?
You can use Pantoprazole in the long term if your prescriber says it’s okay to do so. However, long-term use may cause you to experience low magnesium or vitamin B12 levels or increase the risk of bone fractures, so you’ll need regular check-ups.
Should Pantoprazole Be Taken On An Empty Stomach?
Yes, to get the best results, you should always take Pantoprazole an hour before eating. This helps the medicine work properly and allows it to reduce stomach acid without anything getting in the way.
What Should I Do If I Miss A Dose?
If you forget to take a dose of Pantoprazole, take your next normal dose at the usual time. Never take two doses at the same time to make up for missing one. This will not make it more effective and can increase your risk of side effects.
Is It Safe To Take Pantoprazole When Pregnant?
You should only use Pantoprazole during pregnancy or when breastfeeding if your prescriber decides the benefits outweigh the risks. Always talk to your prescriber before taking Pantoprazole if you’re pregnant.
Can I Get Pantoprazole Online?
You can get Pantoprazole online through a reputable and licensed online pharmacy like The Independent Pharmacy. You’ll just have to complete a discreet, quick and easy consultation to determine if it’s the best product for you. If approved, we’ll send your medication directly to your door, with next-day delivery available.
