1. What is Pantoprazole Aurovitas and what is it used for

Pantoprazole Aurovitas contains the active substance pantoprazole. Pantoprazole is a selective inhibitor of the "proton pump", a medicine that reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is used for the treatment of diseases related to stomach and intestine acid.

Pantoprazole is used in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older to treat:

  • Reflux esophagitis. It is an inflammation of your esophagus (the tube that connects your throat to your stomach) accompanied by acid regurgitation from the stomach.

Pantoprazole is used in adults to treat:

  • Infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori in patients with stomach and/or duodenal ulcers in combination with two antibiotics (eradication treatment). The goal is to get rid of the bacteria and thus reduce the likelihood of ulcer recurrence.
  • Stomach and duodenal ulcers.
  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other diseases in which too much acid is produced in the stomach.

2. What you need to know before you take Pantoprazole Aurovitas

Do not take Pantoprazole Aurovitas

  • If you are allergic to pantoprazole or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you are allergic to medicines that contain other proton pump inhibitors.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to take Pantoprazole Aurovitas.

  • If you have severe liver problems. Tell your doctor if you have ever had liver problems in the past. Your doctor will monitor your liver enzymes more frequently, especially when you are on long-term treatment with pantoprazole. In case of an increase in liver enzymes, treatment should be discontinued.
    • If you have decreased body stores of vitamin B12 or risk factors for it and receive long-term treatment with pantoprazole. Like all acid-reducing medicines, pantoprazole may reduce the absorption of vitamin B12. Contact your doctor if you notice any of the following symptoms, which could indicate low levels of vitamin B12:
  • Extreme fatigue or lack of energy
  • Numbness or tingling sensation
  • Sore or inflamed tongue, mouth ulcers
  • Muscle weakness
  • Altered vision
  • Memory problems, confusion, depression
  • Tell your doctor if you are taking HIV protease inhibitors such as atazanavir (for HIV infection treatment) at the same time as pantoprazole.
  • Taking a proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole, especially for a period of more than one year, may slightly increase the risk of hip, wrist, or spine fractures. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis (reduced bone density) or if you have been told you are at risk of osteoporosis (for example, if you are taking steroids).
  • If you are taking pantoprazole for more than three months, it is possible that your blood magnesium levels may decrease. Low magnesium levels can cause fatigue, involuntary muscle contractions, disorientation, convulsions, dizziness, increased heart rate. If you experience any of these symptoms, see your doctor immediately. Low magnesium levels can also produce a decrease in blood potassium and calcium levels. Your doctor may decide to perform periodic blood tests to monitor magnesium levels.
  • If you have ever had a skin reaction after treatment with a medicine similar to pantoprazole to reduce stomach acid.
  • If you get a skin rash, especially in areas of the skin exposed to the sun, consult your doctor as soon as possible, as it may be necessary to interrupt treatment with pantoprazole. Remember to mention any other symptoms you may notice, such as joint pain.
    • Severe skin reactions have been reported, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and erythema multiforme, in association with pantoprazole treatment. Stop using pantoprazole and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the symptoms related to these severe skin reactions described in section 4.
  • If you are scheduled to have a specific blood test (Chromogranin A).

Tell your doctor immediately, before or after taking this medicine, if you notice any of the following symptoms, which may be signs of more serious diseases:

  • unintentional weight loss
  • vomiting, particularly if it is repeated
  • difficulty swallowing or pain when swallowing
  • blood in the vomit: it may appear as dark coffee grounds in your vomit
  • pale appearance and feeling of weakness (anemia)
  • chest pain
  • stomach pain
  • severe or persistent diarrhea, as this medicine has been associated with a small increase in infectious diarrhea

Your doctor will decide if you need any additional tests to rule out a malignant disease because pantoprazole can alleviate the symptoms of cancer and could delay its diagnosis. If, despite treatment, your symptoms persist, complementary tests will be performed.

If you take pantoprazole for a prolonged period (more than one year), your doctor may perform regular follow-up. You should inform your doctor of any symptoms and/or new or unexpected events each time you visit your doctor.

Children and adolescents

The use of pantoprazole is not recommended in children as it has not been tested in children under 12 years of age.

Other medicines and Pantoprazole Aurovitas

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.

Pantoprazole may affect the efficacy of other medicines. Inform your doctor if you are taking:

  • Medicines such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and posaconazole (used to treat fungal infections) or erlotinib (used to treat certain types of cancer), as pantoprazole may make these and other medicines not work properly.
  • Warfarin and phenprocoumon, which affect blood coagulation. You may need additional checks.
  • Medicines used to treat HIV infection, such as atazanavir.
  • Methotrexate (used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer). If you are taking methotrexate, your doctor may temporarily stop treatment with pantoprazole because pantoprazole may increase methotrexate levels in the blood.
  • Fluvoxamine (used to treat depression and other psychiatric diseases). If you are taking fluvoxamine, your doctor may reduce the dose.
  • Rifampicin (used to treat infections).
  • St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) (used to treat mild depression).

Talk to your doctor before taking pantoprazole if you need to undergo a specific urine test (for THC: tetrahydrocannabinol).

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

There is not enough data on the use of pantoprazole in pregnant women. It has been reported that in humans, pantoprazole is excreted in breast milk.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

You should only use this medicine if your doctor considers that the benefit to you is greater than the potential risk to the fetus or baby.

Driving and using machines

Pantoprazole has no influence or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

Do not drive or use machines if you experience side effects such as dizziness or blurred vision.
