What is Pantoprazole?

Pantoprazole is a prescription medication used to treat individuals with GERD, erosive esophagitis, and hypersecretory conditions, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It may also be used to prevent or treat ulcers in the stomach or intestines. Pantoprazole is sometimes prescribed to prevent ulcers caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Pantoprazole belongs to a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors. It works by blocking the activity of the acid-producing cells that line the stomach. By decreasing the amount of stomach acid produced in the stomach, Pantoprazole can help treat and prevent damage caused by certain digestive disorders. 

Pantoprazole is usually taken once or twice daily, depending on the condition being treated. It is available as an oral delayed-release tablet and delayed-release suspension. Pantoprazole can also be administered as an IV injection or infusion.
