Pantoprazole is used to treat issues such as GERD, acid reflux, and peptic ulcers. It relieves discomfort by significantly cutting back on how much acid your stomach generates.
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is used to treat various acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By decreasing stomach acid, Pantoprazole helps to relieve symptoms like heartburn, prevents acid damage to the esophagus, and promotes healing.
