Pan D Vs Pantop

i want lafutidine with combination of another drug ## Where are you located? Have you tried consulting a doctor? I'm not sure what all is available to you. Lafutidine is used as an antacid to reduce the amount if acid in the stomach and Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that helps ensure that the stomach produces less acid. Therefore, they usually aren't combined, because you do need your stomach to produce some acid in order to properly digest your food. Learn more:

advantages of omeprazole over pantoprazole ## There really is no benefit to using one over the other, they both work the same and are in the same class of medications, proton pump inhibitors. However, just like any other medication, one may work better for someone than a different one does. There is really no explanation for why this happens, but it does. Has your doctor recommended one of them? Here are links to both: ## Actually Pantoprazole is becoming more prescribed and the tendency is to make it more prescribed than Omeprazole. The effect of both proton pump inhibitors is similar, but Pantroprazole is more safe when combined with (some) other drugs, since it has a lower affinity for the cit. P450 than Omeprazole, an enzyme responsible for the metabolism of many drugs. You can find...

Is SDZ Pantoprazole as effective as Pantoprazole? And how do I take (one pill) of 40 mg. SDZ Pantoprazole each day? Label doesn't say whether with or without meals, etc. Thank you. ## They are both the same, the SDZ just stands for the manufacturer, which is Sandoz in that case. It should be taken with an 8 ounce glass of water, just before a meal, so it has time to start working, by the time your meal is digesting. Is there anything else I can help with?

Good day, I have been taking Nexmezol for years, but it has become very expensive. My doctor has advised a change to Pantocid which is cheaper in South Africa. Which one is the better product and is there another type of generic available? ## Good question....I used to take Nexium and switched to its genetic Nexmezol but its almost as expensive....just ridiculous to pay so much for the generic.

What is the difference between pan 40 and pantosec dsr 40? My mother had an elbow fracture followed by surgery. She is on diabetic and blood pressure meds. The doctor also prescribed pan 40, but the med store gave her pantosec dsr 40. Are they the same? ## Pantosec D SR combing Pantoprazole with Domperidone and the SR designates it as being a time released formulation, so no, it is not actually the same. It would be best to check with her doctor to see if it is safe for her to take. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with?
