I took a Pan 40 tablet for acidity three hours ago but I am still experiencing symptoms. Is it safe to take another dose now?

Asked by Female, 42 · 11 days ago

No, please do not take another Pan 40 tablet now. Pantoprazole (Pan 40) is a proton pump inhibitor that can take up to 24 hours to work fully and does not provide instant relief. Taking a second dose so soon will not help your symptoms and increases the risk of side effects. For immediate relief from acidity, you can safely take an over-the-counter antacid gel or chewable tablet (like Digene or Gelusil) instead. Remember to take Pan 40 once daily on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before your morning meal. If severe pain persists, please consult your doctor.
