Key Benefits

Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet is effective at healing erosive esophagitis (inflammation of food pipe), relieving symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and Crohn’s Disease-associated Ulcers. Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate (which secretes stomach acid). It can be prescribed to all age groups, including special populations like the elderly, pregnant, lactating mothers, and kidney and liver disease patients. 

About Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet

Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet belongs to the class of drugs known as Proton pump inhibitor, which reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes. It treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcer, Zollinger Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to pancreatic tumour), duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and Crohn’s Disease-associated Ulcers.

Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet helps in reducing stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall and is responsible for the release of gastric acid secretion, damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach and duodenum. Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet may have common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, flatulence, dizziness, and arthralgia (joint pain).  These side effects are temporary and may be resolved after some time. However, if these side effects persist, please contact the doctor.

Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers but should be taken only after consulting a doctor. Tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, are allergic to Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet  or will have an endoscopy in the future. Prolonged intake of Apollo Pharmacy Pantochoice 40 mg Tablet may cause a deficiency of Vitamin B12 and low levels of calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D, leading to osteoporosis.
