Medicine Description pantazol-ampoules 40mg
Pantazol 40 Ampoules is a medication that belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system located in the gastric parietal cells. This action leads to a significant reduction in gastric acid secretion, thereby elevating the pH level in the stomach and esophagus. By decreasing acid production, Pantazol alleviates symptoms associated with acid-related disorders, promotes healing of the esophagus in erosive conditions, and helps manage gastric acid secretion in conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
