Product details
PANTOSTRUM IV INJECTION is a potent medication designed to manage acid-related disorders. This injectable formulation is particularly useful for patients who require immediate therapeutic intervention, such as those unable to take oral medications. Containing Pantoprazole (40 mg), a powerful proton pump inhibitor (PPI), PANTOSTRUM IV effectively reduces gastric acid secretion, providing relief from conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. This product is administered intravenously, ensuring rapid onset of action, which is crucial in managing acute situations where oral administration may not be feasible. Key Benefits: Rapid Relief: The intravenous formulation provides quick relief from acid-related symptoms, making it suitable for acute conditions. Effective for a Range of Conditions: PANTOSTRUM IV is beneficial for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Prevents Recurrent Symptoms: Regular use can help prevent the recurrence of acid-related symptoms, improving the quality of life for patients with chronic conditions. Safe for Short-Term Use: While PPIs are typically used for longer durations, this injectable form is safe for short-term management in a hospital or clinical setting. Well-Tolerated: Most patients tolerate Pantoprazole well, with a favorable safety profile compared to other PPIs. How Does It Work? PANTOSTRUM IV INJECTION contains Pantoprazole, which selectively inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme (the proton pump) located in the gastric parietal cells. By blocking this enzyme, Pantoprazole effectively reduces the secretion of gastric acid into the stomach. The decreased acid production alleviates symptoms associated with acid reflux and protects the gastric mucosa from damage due to excessive acid. The rapid onset of action provided by the intravenous route makes it especially useful for patients experiencing severe symptoms or those in critical care situations, where immediate acid suppression is necessary. Directions for Use: Administration: PANTOSTRUM IV INJECTION should be administered by a healthcare professional. Dosage: The typical adult dosage is 40 mg, administered once daily. For certain conditions, higher dosages or more frequent administration may be necessary, as determined by a physician. Infusion Method: The injection should be diluted appropriately and infused slowly over 2-15 minutes, as recommended in the prescribing information. Note: Always follow the healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of therapy. Side Effects: While PANTOSTRUM IV INJECTION is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects. Common side effects include: Headache: A frequent side effect, which may resolve on its own. Diarrhea: Some patients may experience gastrointestinal disturbances. Nausea/Vomiting: Mild nausea or vomiting may occur in some individuals. Dizziness: A sensation of light-headedness can occur but is usually transient. Injection Site Reactions: Pain or irritation at the injection site may happen but is generally mild. Serious Side Effects: Although rare, serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, liver dysfunction, or kidney problems. Seek immediate medical attention if any severe symptoms occur.
