Question 1

What are the long term effects of Pantosec Tablet ?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged intake of Pantosec Tablet  may lead to atrophic gastritis (inflammation of stomach cells), Vitamin B12 deficiency and weakening of bones or osteoporosis (loss of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D). Your doctor may prescribe calcium, vitamin D or haemoglobin-enhancing medications to cope with long-term side effects.

Question 2

Does Pantosec Tablet  also treats stomach cancer?

Accepted Answer

No. Pantosec Tablet  is not prescribed for stomach cancer. Do not take Pantosec Tablet  until your doctor has prescribed you. Pantosec Tablet  is only indicated for the treatment of hyperacidity, acid reflux symptoms (GERD), heartburn and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Question 3

Are gas and acidity same thing?

Accepted Answer

No. Gas and acidity are two different common discomforts. Acidity is caused when improper functioning of the valve (sphincter) is located at the junction of the stomach and food pipe. As a result, stomach acid backflows and enters the upper part of the food pipe, causing heartburn. On the other hand, gas is the result of the digestion of food and drinks, eliminating gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, etc., from the body.

Question 4

Does Pantosec Tablet  interfere or affect laboratory test reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pantosec Tablet  can alter certain medical tests like neuroendocrine tumours (secretin stimulation test) and urine screening tests for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). So before undergoing such tests, contact your doctor.

Question 5

How can I manage my long term side effects?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged intake of Pantosec Tablet  may weaken your bone and lower your haemoglobin level. Your doctor may prescribe you Vitamin B12 for enhancing haemoglobin and calcium/vitamin D/magnesium supplements for bone health.

Question 6

Does Pantosec Tablet  treats gastric bleeding?

Accepted Answer

No. Pantosec Tablet  prevents excess production of stomach acid, causing acid reflux and heartburn. If blood is coming in your stool or mucous, immediately contact the doctor.
