Voice box spasm. Caused by pantomerozole ? ## Did you mean Pantoprazole? And how do you know it was a spasm of the voice box? Has this been confirmed by a doctor? If you're taking something to treat excess stomach acid, are you sure you didn't just experience a bad bout of GERD?

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?

For the last 12 years I have been taking Deplatt A 75 & Pantodac 40mg as a precautionary measure. I never had any heart disease. During this period I was posted in different parts of the country. The first doctor prescribed for Aspicot 20 with some antacid about 15 years back. After that the doctor changed it to an Aspirin & antacid combination although there were no findings of heart disease. Now I am 65 and also taking blood pressure tablets (FBX 40 and Lipiking 10). My lipid profile was above the normal limit about 5 yrs back and now it is well within normal range. Should I continue all these medicines? I may provide other information, if asked for. ## While I'm unable to replace the personalized advice from a licensed healthcare professional, I can tell you that decision...
