6. Contents of the package and additional information

Anagastra contains the active substance pantoprazol

Anagastrais a selective proton pump inhibitor, a medication that reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is usedfor the treatment of diseases related to stomach acid and intestine. This medication is injected into a vein and will only be administered if your doctor considers that the injection of pantoprazol at this time is more convenient for you than pantoprazol tablets. Pantoprazol tablets will replace injections as soon as your doctor considers it appropriate.

Anagastra is used for the treatment in adults of:

-Gastroesophageal reflux esophagitis. It is an inflammation of your esophagus(the tube that connects your throat with your stomach)accompanied by regurgitation of acid from the stomach.

-Stomach and duodenal ulcers

-Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions in which too much acid is produced in the stomach.

No use Anagastra

• If you are allergic to pantoprazole or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6)
• If you are allergic to medications that contain other proton pump inhibitors (for example, omeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazol, esomeprazole)

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to use Anagastra:

• If you have severe liver problems. Inform your doctor if you have ever had liver problems in the past. Your doctor will monitor your liver enzymes more frequently. If liver enzyme levels increase, treatment should be interrupted.
• Consult your doctor if you are taking HIV protease inhibitors such as atazanavir (for HIV treatment) at the same time as pantoprazole.
• Taking a proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole, especially for more than a year, may increase the risk of fractures of the hips, wrists, or spine. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis (reduced bone density) or if you have been told you are at risk of developing osteoporosis (for example, if you are taking corticosteroids).
• If you are taking Anagastra for more than three months, it is possible that magnesium levels in the blood may decrease. Low magnesium levels can cause fatigue, involuntary muscle contractions, disorientation, seizures, dizziness, increased heart rate. If you experience any of these symptoms, see your doctor immediately. Low magnesium levels can also cause a decrease in potassium and calcium levels in the blood. 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 similar medication to Anagastra for reducing stomach acid.
• If you suffer from 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 Anagastra. Remember to mention any other symptoms you may notice, such as joint pain.
• If you are scheduled to undergo a specific blood test (Cromogranin A).

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

- Unintentional weight loss

- Vomiting, particularly if repeated

- Blood in the vomit: it may appear as a dark brown powder in your vomit

- If you notice blood in your stools, which may appear black or melena

- Difficulty swallowing, or pain when swallowing

- Pale appearance and feeling weak (anemia)

• Chest pain
• Abdominal pain
• Severe or persistent diarrhea, as Anagastra has been associated with a small increase in infectious diarrhea.
• Severe skin reactions have been reported in relation to Anagastra treatment, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and erythema multiforme. Stop taking Anagastra and call your doctor immediately if you experience any symptoms related to severe skin reactions described in section 4

Your doctor will decide if you need additional testing to rule out malignant disease, as pantoprazole may alleviate cancer symptoms and potentially delay diagnosis. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, further investigations will be performed.

Children and Adolescents

The use of Anagastra is not recommended in children, as it has not been tested in children under 18 years old.

Use of Anagastra with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication, including over-the-counter medications.

Anagastra may affect the efficacy of other medications. Inform your doctor if you are taking:

• Medications such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and posaconazole (used to treat fungal infections) as Anagastra may make these and other medications less effective.
• Warfarin and fenprocumon, which affect blood clotting. You may need additional monitoring.
• Medications 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 interrupt treatment with Anagastra, as pantoprazole may increase methotrexate levels in the blood.
• Fluvoxamine (used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders) 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).

Consult your doctor before taking Anagastra if you are scheduled to undergo a specific urine test (for THC, tetrahydrocannabinol).

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fertility

There is insufficient data on the use of pantoprazole in pregnant women. Pantoprazole has been reported to be excreted in human breast milk.

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

You should only use this medication if your doctor considers the benefits for you to be greater than the potential risk to the fetus or baby.

Driving and Operating Machines

Anagastra has no influence or this is insignificant on the ability to drive or operate machines.

You should not drive or operate machines if you experience adverse effects such as dizziness or blurred vision.

Anagastra contains sodium

This medication contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per vial; it is essentially "sodium-free".

Your nurse or doctor will administer the daily dose as an injection into a vein over a period of 2-15 minutes.

The recommended dose is:

Adults

For the treatment of gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux esophagitis.

One vial (40 mg of pantoprazole) per day.

For long-term treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions in which there is an increase in stomach acid production.

Two vials (80 mg of pantoprazole) per day.

Your doctor may then adjust your dose depending on the amount of stomach acid you produce. If you are prescribed more than two vials (80 mg) per day, the injections will be administered in equal doses. Your doctor may temporarily prescribe a dose of more than four vials (160 mg) per day. If you need to quickly controlrapidlystomach acid levels, an initial dose of 160 mg (four vials) should be sufficient to significantly reduce stomach acid levels.

Patients with liver problems

-If you haveseriousliver problems, the daily injection should be only 20 mg (half a vial).
