Is there a Generic or cheaper alternative ## I'm not sure if there is a generic available for you, but I can tell you that the active ingredient is Pantoprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor. You can ask your pharmacist/chemist if it is available, or if they have other medications that are available in this same drug class. Learn more Pantocid details here. Have you discussed your options with your doctor?

Prescribed to me for Cholestrol and was effective too. What alternative (vegetable/fruits) can I use (I am pure vegetarian) so that I do not have to take it and I can effectively control Triglyseride and LDL mainly. ## I have been prescribed Atorlip-F and Pantocid DSR for Cholestrol control. I wonder if there are any other ways that I can control Cholestrol without taking these kind of tablets / medicines? I suffer from light Gout once a year, but it is so painful. What medicines is best for Gout? Thank you.
