Pantomax 40Mg 30Tab

Pantomax is a medication that belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors, used to treat conditions such as stomach ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It works by reducing acid production in the stomach, helping to alleviate symptoms associated with excess acid.

Pantomax works by inhibiting the proton pump enzyme in the stomach cells, which decreases acid secretion. This effect aids in healing ulcers and reduces symptoms such as acidity and heartburn. It is commonly used in the treatment of esophagitis caused by acid reflux and is considered effective in preventing ulcers resulting from the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
