  Why prescribed, side effects

  According to doctors, diseases of the digestive system are diseases of civilization. Each person at least once faced such manifestations as abdominal pain, heartburn, belching, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation. Gastrointestinal diseases in terms of the number of hospitalizations rank third after pregnancy and cardiovascular diseases.

  According to clinical guidelines in the complex therapy of gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), drugs from the PPI group – proton pump inhibitors are used. Using the example of the drug Pantoprazole, we analyze how such drugs “work” in the body, what they help with and what side effects they have. Compare Pantoprazole with Omeprazole, Rabeprazole and Nolpaza.

  Pantoprazole: what helps

  Hydrochloric acid, contained in gastric juice, stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, activates gastric motility and destroys pathogens that come with food. It is produced in the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa, and the proton pump enzyme controls this process.

  Excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid is dangerous for the mucous membrane of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. To reduce its production, Pantoprazole is prescribed, which blocks the action of the proton pump and reduces the aggressive effect of gastric juice on the gastrointestinal mucosa.

  All items Pantoprazole

  Pantoprazole What is it used for

  What is Pantoprazole used for? Under what diseases and conditions is it necessary to reduce the secretion of hydrochloric acid? Before answering the questions, we clarify that the indications for the use of the drug depend on the dosage. Pantoprazole tablets are produced in two types:

  1. Pantoprazole 20 mg is indicated for the relief of heartburn and regurgitation in GERD in adults. The drug reduces the aggressiveness of gastric juice, which is thrown into the esophagus and prevents the formation of erosion, ulcers and burns.

  2. Pantoprazole 40 mg tablets are used for:

  • exacerbation of gastric and duodenal ulcers to allow it to heal;
  • erosive gastritis, including those associated with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, to protect the mucous membrane;
  • complex eradication of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which becomes more sensitive to antibiotics at elevated pH;
  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome to prevent the formation of erosions and ulcers.

  Pantoprazole: side effects

  If the drug is used according to indications and in accordance with the instructions, side effects are rare. Headache and diarrhea were reported in only 1% of patients. Also possible:

  • dizziness;
  • benign polyps of gastric glands;
  • bloating, constipation;
  • dry mouth, nausea, vomiting;
  • abdominal pain and discomfort;
  • dermatitis, pruritus, rash;
  • fractures.

  Pantoprazole or Omeprazole: which is better?

  Omeprazole is the first and most studied proton pump inhibitor. Indications for use are generally similar to those of Pantoprazole. The main difference is that omeprazole at a dose of 20 mg is approved for the treatment of children from 2 years of age with GERD and from 4 years of age in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori, and Pantoprazole is indicated only for adult patients from 18 years of age.

  Preparations differ in the form of release. Omeprazole is produced in the form of microcapsules enclosed in an enteric shell and placed in a capsule. Pantoprazole is an enteric coated tablet. Omeprazole capsules can be dissolved in acidified water, juice or fruit puree. In this form, they are convenient for children and patients with difficulty swallowing.

  Omeprazole is more likely than pantoprazole to cause headache, drowsiness, lethargy and gastrointestinal side effects, has more interactions with other drugs

  What analogues have in common: both drugs are taken before meals, they act 24 hours after the start of administration and are compatible with antacids. But, despite the similarity of action, patients should not independently decide what to take – Omeprazole or Pantoprazole. To do this, you need to consult a doctor, as the drugs have differences.

  Pantoprazole or Rabeprazole: which is better?

  Rabeprazole is also a PPI and has a number of advantages over Pantoprazole: it lasts up to 48 hours, it is allowed for children from 12 years of age with GERD at a dosage of 20 mg, it can be used regardless of food intake.

  Another “positive” difference between Rabeprazole is that it is active at almost any pH of gastric juice, while Pantoprazole acts only at pH not higher than 3.

  The preparations contain various active and excipients, have their own characteristics of purpose, so the choice of Pantoprazole or Rabeprazole is made by the attending physician.

  Pantoprazole or Nolpaza: which is better?

  Under the name Pantoprazole, the drug is produced by Russian companies, and Nolpaza is an analogue of the Slovenian company KRKA. Pantoprazole and Nolpaza are complete analogues with the same active ingredient. They differ in manufacturers, excipients and the place of synthesis of substances. So, pantoprazole for Nolpaza is produced in Slovenia, and for Pantoprazole – in Spain and India.

  According to the instructions for medical use, Nolpaza is approved for the treatment of children from 12 years of age. Therefore, the drug has an advantage in pediatric practice. In other cases, Nolpaza and Pantoprazole are interchangeable, taking into account the dosages prescribed by the doctor and the appointment.

  Be aware that all proton pump inhibitors increase the risk of osteoporosis and certain gastrointestinal infections. If PPIs are prescribed, then other drugs that reduce the acidity of gastric juice should not be taken.
