Pantop 40 Tablet: Detailed Description

Pantop 40 Tablet contains Pantoprazole Sodium (40 mg), a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid. It is widely used for treating acid-related stomach and esophageal conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and erosive esophagitis. By lowering stomach acid, it helps alleviate symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion while promoting healing of the esophagus and stomach lining.
