About PANTAPRAZOLE 40 INJ TECHNOPAN-40 IV
Pantoprazole injection is used as a short-term treatment to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD; a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and possible injury of the esophagus [the tube between the throat and stomach]) in people who have had damage to their esophagus and who are unable to take pantoprazole by mouth. It is also used to treat conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumors in the pancreas and small intestine that caused increased production of stomach acid). Pantoprazole is in a class of medications called proton-pump inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.Rapid and Targeted Relief from Acid-Related DisordersTECHNOPAN-40 IV provides swift control of gastric acid secretion following intravenous administration, making it ideal for hospitalized patients unable to take oral medications.
