Pzostar-40
Description_Effects
Pzostar-40 contains Pantoprazole 40 mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces the production of stomach acid. It is widely used for treating acid-related disorders such as acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and erosive esophagitis. It is also prescribed to prevent ulcers in people who take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) regularly. Pantoprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the gastric lining responsible for acid secretion. This helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, sour stomach, burning chest pain, and bloating, and promotes healing of ulcers and acid-damaged tissue in the stomach and esophagus. Pzostar-40 is usually taken once daily, preferably 30–60 minutes before meals. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed. Regular use, as prescribed by a healthcare provider, ensures optimal results. Although Pantoprazole is generally well tolerated, some users may experience side effects like headache, diarrhea, nausea, or flatulence. Long-term use may require monitoring for vitamin B12 levels and bone health.
