About Pantakind Tablet

Pantakind Tablet belongs to the class of drugs known as Proton pump inhibitor, which reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes. It treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour), duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and Crohn’s disease-associated ulcers.

Pantakind Tablet helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the action of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase, also known as the gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall and is responsible for the release of gastric acid secretion, damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach and duodenum. Pantakind Tablet prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Pantakind Tablet may have common side effects, such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, flatulence, dizziness, and arthralgia (joint pain).  These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own over time. However, if these side effects persist, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.

Pantakind Tablet is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers but should be taken only after consulting a doctor. Tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, are allergic to Pantakind Tablet  or will have an endoscopy in the future. Prolonged intake of Pantakind Tablet may cause a deficiency of Vitamin B12 and low levels of calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D, leading to osteoporosis.

Uses of Pantakind Tablet

Pantakind Tablet is used to treat peptic ulcers, heartburn, and hyperacidity. The following are the specific applications of Pantakind Tablet :
• Gastric reflux disease (GERD): Pantakind Tablet is frequently used to treat GERD by decreasing the production of stomach acid, which lessens the symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn.
• Erosive Esophagitis: This medication efficiently promotes healing and symptom relief for this ailment, which is brought on by inflammation and damage to the esophagus as a result of acid reflux.
• Peptic Ulcers: By lowering stomach acid, Pantakind Tablet can be used to treat peptic ulcers and promote the healing of the affected areas.
• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: This uncommon ailment results in an overabundance of stomach acid. Pantakind Tablet considerably lowers acid secretion, which aids with symptom management.

Directions for Use

Tablet/capsule: Swallow it as a whole with water; do not crush, break or chew it. Granules for Suspension: Firstly, shake the container and open the cap. Add the granules from the packet to a cup containing 1 teaspoon of applesauce or apple juice. Mix well for 5 seconds and make your child drink immediately. Pantakind Tablet should be given 30 min before meals.

Medicinal Benefits

Pantakind Tablet is effective in healing erosive esophagitis (inflammation of the food pipe), relieving symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and Crohn’s disease-associated ulcers. Pantakind Tablet works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate, which secretes stomach acid. It can be prescribed to all age groups, including special populations like the elderly, pregnant, lactating mothers, and patients with kidney and liver disease.

How Pantakind Tablet Works

Pantakind Tablet helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the action of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase, also known as the gastric proton pump). This proton pump is located in the cells of the stomach wall and is responsible for releasing gastric acid, which can damage tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum. Pantakind Tablet prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid consuming foods or drinks that trigger acid reflux or heartburn, such as onions, peppermint, chocolate, caffeinated beverages, citrus fruits or juices, tomatoes, high-fat foods, and spicy foods.
  • Before going to sleep, raise your bedhead so that your head and chest are higher than your feet. Do not use piles of pillows; one raised block is fine. This will prevent stomach acid from backing up into your food pipe.
  • Avoid taking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Alcohol can raise the level of production of stomach acid, leading to heartburn and acid reflux. On the other hand, nicotine smoking damages the valve (sphincter), preventing the backflow of the stomach acid into the food pipe.
  • Include high-fibre-containing foods, such as berries, cherries, leafy green veggies (like kale and spinach), and black pepper in your meal. These foods are rich in antioxidants, calcium, and vitamin B12, which can help mitigate the long-term effects of the medicine. Fermented dairy products like miso, sauerkraut, and kimchi contain probiotics which help in the prevention of excess stomach acid production. Cranberry juice can be beneficial for peptic ulcers and H. pylori infection.
  • Avoid sitting for long periods, as it can increase stomach acid production. Try to take a 5-minute break every hour by going for a brisk walk or stretching.
