i took pantop hp kit in oct 2012 now i am ok but some time i feel asid in my stomak so it is write to take some dose of pantop hp kit ## Actually, it wouldn't be the full kit that you want, unless your doctor instructs you to take it. Because that also contains an antibiotic to eradicate the H. Pylori bacteria. If you're having an acid problem and a doctor hasn't said you need the antibiotic, then you'd just want the Pantop by itself or some other similar medication. Learn more Pantop details here. It's a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the amount of acid produced by your stomach, but it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. But you should also check with a doctor, before taking it, to make sure that it is safe for you to ...

I have been taking this pill (for heart attack recovery) since last fall. I already was being treated for vertigo and it seemed to make the vertigo worse plus made me be in a "fog" most of the time. Do I need to change to another generic for Protonix ? ## Hello, John! How are you? This is not a medication used to treat a heart condition of any type. This is a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat or prevent conditions such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis. It can cause some slight dizziness as a side effect, but it really should't worsen vertigo or cause you to seem to be in a fog. Do you take any other medications? ## Thanks for your reply. I take Enteric Aspirin 81 mg, Clopidogrel 75 mg, Atorvastatin 20 mg, and ...

Does Pantoprazole manufactured by Aurobindo contain any gluten? ## It appears that both the 20 mg (NDC 65862-559) and 40 mg (NDC 65862-560) tablets contain the same inactive ingredients: - Calcium Stearate - Crospovidone - Ferric Oxide Yellow - Hydroxypropyl Cellulose - Hypromellose 2910 (3 Mpa.s) - Mannitol - Methacrylic Acid - Ethyl Acrylate Copolymer (1:1) Type a - Sodium Carbonate - Triethyl Citrate - Ammonia - Ferrosoferric Oxide - Ferric Oxide Red - Isopropyl Alcohol - Butyl Alcohol - Propylene Glycol - Shellac As such, they should not be problematic for people with gluten sensitivity unless there was cross-contamination during the manufacturing process.

Hello, I was prescribed pantoprazole 40 mg to help with my stomach pain. The medicine did make the pain leave. However, after the 8 week course my doctor reduced the dose to 20 mg and told me only to take it when necessary. I was taking 20 mg for only two days before my symptoms returned and I was forced to return to 40mg. I have an appointment scheduled with my doctor soon but I am scared that I might have stomach cancer( 39 year old female). What should I expect at mh appointment. Is a relapse normal so soon after reduction in dose? Thank you. ## Well, I'd say that it isn't time to panic, calm down and relax. There are many other conditions that can cause stomach pain, that aren't stomach cancer. I have experience in this area, several years ago, I started suffering severe...

I have COPD. I was prescribed Pantodac 20. Is it okay? ## Pantodac contains the active ingredient Pantoprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to prevent or treat conditions such as ulcers, GERD and heartburn. I didn't find any warnings regarding it and COPD, but you should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain that it's safe for you to take. Was the prescribing doctor aware of your COPD diagnosis? ## I had gone to him because of the COPD.

My father in law had a bypass about 6 years ago. He then developed colon cancer. He went for the op and is now cancer free. He was told however to take Pantacid 20. After the 1st month the Dr just continued giving it to him. He now gets weak regularly and has to be hospitalised for blood transfusion. They do scans and diagnostics, but can't find anything. He also finds it difficult to eat, has the runs, passes lots of gas. Pls can someone help by telling me if he should stop or what we can do. The Dr is not very helpful and unapproachable. ## Hello, Lee! How is your father-in-law doing? Is this the only medication he's taking?

I am patient of Hypertension. Along with other medicines like olemsar 20, my physician prescribed pantocid 20. I take pantocid occasionally.

Should I discontinue pantocid? suggest other alternative medicine as i feel lots of gases in my stomach. ## take ranitidine ## Pantocid contains the active ingredient Pantoprazole, it is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to treat or prevent conditions such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis.
