What is Bristol Panton-AX 40mg?
Bristol Panton-AX 40mg is an enteric-coated tablet designed to manage conditions caused by excessive stomach acid. It contains 40mg of Pantoprazole Sodium, a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces. This provides long-lasting relief from discomfort and helps the digestive system heal.
What is it used for?
This medication is primarily used for:
- Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers: Helping to heal ulcers and prevent them from returning.
- GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): Relief from acid reflux and heartburn where stomach acid flows back into the food pipe.
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: A condition where the stomach produces too much acid.
- H. pylori Eradication: Often used in combination with antibiotics to treat infections caused by H. pylori bacteria.
How to take Panton-AX 40mg
For best results, Panton-AX tablets should be swallowed whole with water, preferably 30 to 60 minutes before a meal. Do not crush or chew the tablets as they are enteric-coated to protect the active ingredient from stomach acid.
If you have persistent stomach pain or are unsure about your dosage, we encourage you to contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
