Pantoprazole Injection

Pantoprazole Injection refers to the combination of supplements called Proton Pump inhibitors which overcome the amount of acid the stomach makes. It treats gastroesophageal reflux disease, stomach ulcers, Duodenal ulcers, Zollinger Ellison syndrome, gastric ulcers, and Crohn’s Disease-associated ulcers. Pantoprazole Injection supports decreasing stomach acid by blocking the action of an enzyme.

This proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall responsible for the release of gastric acid secretion damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum.  Pantoprazole Injection prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.
