About

This suspension combines a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with a raft-forming agent, often an alginate, and sometimes an antacid. Pantoprazole, the PPI component, works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump in gastric parietal cells, thereby significantly reducing the production of gastric acid. This action provides sustained control over acid secretion. The raft-forming component, typically an alginate, creates a protective physical barrier that floats on the surface of the stomach contents. This barrier effectively prevents the reflux of acid, pepsin, and bile into the esophagus, thereby protecting the delicate esophageal lining from irritation and damage. This dual mechanism of action offers comprehensive relief from symptoms associated with acid reflux disease (GERD), including heartburn and regurgitation, and promotes the healing of esophageal erosions. It is designed to provide both immediate symptomatic relief and long-term acid control, making it a highly effective treatment for various acid-related disorders and improving overall gastrointestinal comfort.
