$500.00
Pantoprazole for Injection 40 mg is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid. It is formulated for intravenous administration and is used in the treatment of conditions where oral administration is not feasible. Pantoprazole is indicated for short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and other conditions associated with excessive gastric acid production, such as peptic ulcers and erosive esophagitis. It works by irreversibly inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells, providing sustained acid suppression.
Recommended Usage:
- Indications:
- Treatment of GERD with severe symptoms or complications, such as erosive esophagitis.
- Management of gastric and duodenal ulcers.
- Control of acid secretion in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other hypersecretory conditions.
- Prophylaxis for stress-related mucosal damage in critically ill patients.
- Dosage and Administration:
- Adults: The usual dose is 40 mg once daily, administered as an intravenous injection over 2-15 minutes or as an infusion over 15-30 minutes.
- Preparation: Reconstitute the vial with an appropriate diluent (e.g., 10 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride) and administer as instructed by a healthcare provider.
- Duration of treatment depends on the severity of the condition and clinical response.
- Transition to oral therapy when feasible.
- Precautions:
- Use with caution in patients with severe liver impairment; dosage adjustments may be required.
- Monitor magnesium levels in patients on long-term therapy to avoid hypomagnesemia.
