Paridem IV 40mg Injection

About

Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by irreversibly blocking the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system, the proton pump, in the gastric parietal cells. This action effectively reduces gastric acid secretion, leading to a significant and sustained decrease in both basal and stimulated acid output. Administered intravenously, it is particularly useful in situations where oral administration is not feasible or rapid onset of action is required, such as in critically ill patients or those with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Its potent and prolonged acid suppression facilitates the healing of esophageal erosions, prevents recurrence of peptic ulcers, and manages hypersecretory conditions, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing complications associated with excessive gastric acid.

Uses

• Treatment of erosive esophagitis associated with GERD.
• Management of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other pathological hypersecretory conditions.
• Prevention of rebleeding in patients with peptic ulcers following endoscopic therapy.
