Overview Pantosin 40 Tablet

Gastro-Guard 40mg tablets diminish stomach acid production. Indicated for treating stomach and intestinal conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, it alleviates symptoms and aids healing. Gastro-Guard 40mg also prevents ulcers and acidity potentially caused by long-term painkiller use. Classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it's best taken an hour before meals, ideally in the morning. Dosage varies based on individual needs and response; continue as directed even with symptom resolution. Smaller, more frequent meals, and avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fatty foods, enhances efficacy. Common, generally mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and stomach ache. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Prolonged use (over a year) may increase bone fracture risk, particularly at higher doses; discuss bone health (osteoporosis) prevention, including calcium and vitamin D supplementation, with your physician. Inform your doctor of severe liver disease, HIV medication use, prior allergic reactions to similar drugs, or existing osteoporosis before starting.
