Pantriz 40 mg Injection is a proton pump inhibitor, primarily used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the oesophagus lining), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions caused due to excessive acid in the stomach. GERD is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Zollinger Ellison syndrome is a rare condition in which a gastrin-secreting tumour of the pancreas causes excessive acid production leading to peptic ulcers.

Pantriz 40 mg Injection contains Pantoprazole. It blocks the action of the gastric proton pump that is responsible for the production of acid in the stomach. This reduces the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers, and prevents the formation of new ulcers. 

Pantriz 40 mg Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Common side effects of Pantriz 40 mg Injection include headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, gas, joint pain, pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site.

This reduces the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers, and prevents the formation of new ulcers. It also relieves the symptoms of GERD like heartburn, difficulty in swallowing, and persistent cough. Pantoprazole may also prevent oesophageal cancer.

• ATAZANAVIR
• KETOCONAZOLE
• ITRACONAZOLE
• METHOTREXATE
• DIGOXIN

• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.

• Manage stress, eat healthily, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get plenty of sleep.

• Limit taking high fibre foods, foods and drinks that contain chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, fructose, or sorbitol, carbonated drinks, fried, and fatty foods.

• Pantriz 40 mg Injection may interfere with urine tests for tetrahydrocannabinol-THC and blood tests to find certain tumours. Inform your doctor and laboratory staff that you are taking Pantriz 40 mg Injection before undergoing examinations.

Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity, GERD, heartburn, stomach ulcer, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): It is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms of GERD include chest pain, difficulty swallowing, regurgitation (expulsion of food from the pharynx or oesophagus) of food/sour liquid, and a burning sensation in the chest.

Zollinger Ellison syndrome: It is a rare condition in which a gastrin-secreting tumour of the pancreas causes excessive acid production leading to peptic ulcers. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, heartburn, acid reflux, and burping.
