Pantobex 20 mg Tablet ~ 1 Strip

Product Overview

Pantobex 20 is an advanced gastro-resistant daily tablet engineered to manage and prevent a wide range of acid-related disorders. By blocking the final stage of acid secretion through the inhibition of the $H^+/K^+$-ATPase enzyme system (the "proton pump") within gastric parietal cells, it delivers a highly stable reduction in baseline and stimulated gastric acid. This environment allows irritated tissue in your food pipe and stomach to recover comfortably.

Key Indications

·       Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Relieves core symptoms of acid reflux, including nighttime heartburn, regurgitation, and painful swallowing.

·       Peptic & Duodenal Ulcer Disease: Heals painful sores and ulcers in the lining of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine.

·       NSAID-Induced Ulcer Prophylaxis: Safeguards the stomach lining from forming ulcers caused by the prolonged use of routine pain killers.

·       Helicobacter pylori Eradication: Used alongside prescribed antibiotics to completely eliminate stubborn H. pylori bacterial infections.

·       Hypersecretory Conditions: Controls severe, chronic overproduction of acid, such as in Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.

Key Benefits

·       Sustained Acid Control: Delivers comprehensive 24-hour protection from acidity with a single, highly stable daily dose.

·       Gastro-Resistant Formulation: The specialized enteric coating ensures the active ingredient passes safely through harsh stomach fluids, releasing exactly where it is needed most for maximum bio-availability.

·       Promotes Tissue Healing: Lowering internal acidity speeds up the natural recovery of inflamed mucosal linings and erosive esophagitis.

Dosage & Administration

·       Standard Adult Dose: Take 1 tablet (20 mg) once daily, or exactly as directed by your physician.

·       Timing: For optimal performance, take the tablet in the morning, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.

·       How to Take: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet, as doing so destroys the sensitive gastro-resistant enteric protective coating.
