I have no heart burn or reflex problem. ## Some undigested food particles appearing in your stool is a normal occurence. And no, Pan contains the active ingredient Pantoprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to treat or prevent conditions such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis.

I am taking Pan 40 in the morning for acidity but often times feel drowsy. Is Pan 40 the reason why? If so, should I stop taking it? What will happen if I stop for a few days? ## Yes, that can be a normal side effect of this medication, according to the NIH. Other typical side effects may possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain. If you stop, your acidity levels may rise and start causing problems, again. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am a 69 year old male who experienced upper gastric pain and was prescribed Mucosta t.i.d. times 7 days. After the very first dose of 1 tablet I began serious side effects: hypertension, constipation, inability to concentrate and panic attacks related to my inability to stop the effect of the drug. Depression and inability to experience happiness, or pleasure. I suspect my hypersensitivity may be related to the fact that I have genetically evolved essential tremor for which I have taken Corgard/Nadalol 40 mg for the past 20 years. WHAT IS THE HALF LIFE of Mucosta? I was given a 40 mg dose of Pantoloc which I also stopped taking after the first pill. I switched back to Omeprazole 20 mg which I took before with no problems and it seems to have ended the gastric pain.

I was previously on Omez 40, but my docter changed it to Pantocid 40. My medical aid does not cover that, due to the price I desided to cut the tablet in halve. It is doing what it should, my qiuestion is: What is the risk of doing that, and how long can I do it? I am using Pntocid 40 cut in 2 for two years now. Is the coating strong enough to get the halve tablet to where it should go?
