Contents of the pack and further information

1. What is Pantoprazole and what is it used for

Pantoprazole 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 for:

Pantoprazole is used in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age to treat:

Symptoms (e.g., heartburn, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing) associated with

gastroesophageal reflux disease caused by acid reflux from the stomach.

Treatment of reflux esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus accompanied by

acid reflux from the stomach) and prevention of relapses.

Pantoprazole is used in adults to treat: - prevention of gastroduodenal ulcers induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, e.g., ibuprofen), in patients at risk who require continuous treatment with NSAIDs.

2. What you need to know before you take Pantoprazole

Do not take Pantoprazole

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 containing other proton pump inhibitors.

Warnings and precautions

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

If you have severe liver problems. Inform your doctor if you have ever had liver problems. Your doctor will monitor your liver enzymes more frequently, especially when you are on long-term treatment with Pantoprazole. If your liver enzymes increase, treatment should be discontinued.
If you need to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) continuously and take pantoprazole, as there is a higher risk of developing stomach and intestine complications. Any increased risk will be assessed according to your personal risk factors, such as age (65 years or older), history of stomach or duodenal ulcers, or stomach or intestine bleeding.
If you have low vitamin B12 body stores or risk factors for this and receive treatment with pantoprazole for a long period. Like all acid-reducing medicines, pantoprazole may reduce the absorption of vitamin B12.
If you are taking HIV protease inhibitors such as atazanavir (for HIV infection treatment) at the same time as pantoprazole.
If you are taking proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole, especially for more than a year, you may have a slightly increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis (reduced bone density) or if you are taking corticosteroids (which can increase the risk of osteoporosis).

If you take Pantoprazole for more than three months, your magnesium levels in the blood may decrease. Low magnesium levels can cause fatigue, muscle contractions, disorientation, convulsions, dizziness, increased heart rate. If you experience any of these symptoms, go to your doctor immediately. Low magnesium levels can also lead to a decrease in potassium and calcium levels in the blood. Your doctor may decide to perform periodic blood tests to monitor your 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 discontinue treatment with Pantoprazole. Remember to mention any other symptoms you may notice, such as joint pain.

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
blood in the vomit: it may appear as a dark coffee grounds-like substance in your vomit.
if you notice blood in your stools, which may appear black or tarry
difficulty swallowing, or pain when swallowing
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, as pantoprazole may alleviate the symptoms of cancer and could delay its diagnosis. If, despite treatment, your symptoms persist, additional tests will be performed.

If you take pantoprazole for a prolonged period (more than a year), your doctor may monitor you regularly. You should inform your doctor of any new or unexpected symptoms or 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

Pantoprazole may affect the efficacy of other medicines, so 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 fenprocoumon, which affect blood coagulation. You may need additional monitoring.
Medicines used to treat HIV infection, such as atazanavir.
Methotrexate (a chemotherapy medicine used at high doses to treat cancer and psoriasis). If you are taking a high dose of methotrexate, your doctor may temporarily stop your treatment with Pantoprazole.
Fluvoxamine (used to treat depression and other psychiatric diseases) if you are taking fluvoxamine, your doctor may reduce your dose.
Rifampicin (used to treat infections)
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) (used to treat mild depression)

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
