PAN 20 Tablet

Description

Product Description

PAN 20 Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Pantoprazole 20 mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, peptic ulcers, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, erosive esophagitis, and other acid-related conditions.

Pantoprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining responsible for acid secretion. By lowering stomach acid production, PAN 20 Tablet helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, chest discomfort, indigestion, and sour taste in the mouth. It also promotes the healing of ulcers and inflammation of the esophagus caused by prolonged acid exposure.

When taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional, PAN 20 Tablet provides effective and long-lasting acid suppression while supporting healing of the digestive tract.
