What does it do?

Pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors. It is primarily used for the treatment of peptic ulcers and related conditions caused by excessive gastric acid secretion. It protects the gastric mucosa and aids in the healing of ulcers.

This ingredient reduces gastric acid secretion by blocking the proton pump in the gastric wall cells. As a result, it decreases mucosal damage caused by gastric acid and creates an environment conducive to ulcer healing. It also helps relieve symptoms due to excessive gastric acid.
