PAN-40 Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains pantoprazole (40mg) as its active ingredient, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excess stomach acid production. It is primarily used to treat and manage conditions such as acid reflux, heartburn, and stomach ulcers. 
Uses and Benefits
PAN-40 Tablet effectively treats a range of acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestines: 
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) / Acid Reflux: Manages chronic heartburn and irritation of the food pipe (esophagus) caused by stomach acid flowing back up.
  • Peptic Ulcer Disease: Aids in the healing and prevention of ulcers in the stomach (gastric ulcers) and the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum).
  • Erosive Esophagitis: Promotes healing of the inflammation and damage to the esophagus lining caused by stomach acid.
  • Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Controls the excessive acid production in the stomach caused by a rare tumor condition.
  • NSAID-induced ulcers: Often prescribed alongside long-term use of pain-relieving medications (NSAIDs) to prevent stomach ulcers and acidity. 
Key Information
  • Administration: The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water; do not chew, crush, or break it.
  • Timing: For optimal effectiveness, it is usually taken once a day in the morning on an empty stomach, about one hour before a meal.
  • Duration: The full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor must be completed, even if symptoms improve quickly, to ensure the condition is properly managed.
  • Lifestyle: Avoiding trigger foods (spicy, fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol), eating smaller meals, and maintaining a healthy weight can enhance the medicine’s effectiveness.
  • Alcohol: Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can increase acid production and worsen symptoms.
