Overview Pantadol 40mg Tablet

Gastro-Gard 40mg tablets lessen stomach acid production. They treat stomach and intestinal conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, relieving symptoms and aiding healing. Gastro-Gard 40mg tablets also prevent ulcers and acidity from prolonged painkiller use. A proton pump inhibitor (PPI), this medication should be taken one hour before meals, ideally in the morning. Dosage depends on your condition and response; continue as prescribed even with symptom improvement. Smaller, more frequent meals, and avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fatty foods enhance its effectiveness. Common, typically mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Prolonged use, especially over a year and at higher doses, may increase bone fracture risk. Discuss bone loss prevention, such as calcium and vitamin D supplements, with your doctor. Inform your doctor of severe liver disease, HIV medication use, prior allergic reactions to similar drugs, or pre-existing osteoporosis before starting this medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also seek medical advice prior to use.
