Caution must be exercised in patients using, have recently used or might use any other medicines. PANTOLOC Control may stop certain other medicines from working properly. Especially medicines containing one of the following active substances.
HIV protease inhibitors such as atazanavir, nelfinavir (for the treatment of HIV infection). PANTOLOC Control should not be used with HIV protease inhibitors. See Contraindications.
Ketoconazole (used for fungal infections).
Warfarin and phenprocoumon (used to thin blood and prevent clots). Further blood tests may be needed.
Methotrexate (used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer).
PANTOLOC Control treatment may be temporarily stopped if the patient is taking methotrexate because pantoprazole can increase levels of methotrexate in the blood.
PANTOLOC Control should not be taken with other medicines which limit the amount of acid produced in the stomach, such as another proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, lansoprazole or rabeprazole) or an H2 antagonist (e.g. ranitidine, famotidine).
However, PANTOLOC Control may be taken with antacids (e.g. magaldrate, alginic acid, sodium bicarbonate, aluminium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, or combinations thereof), if needed.
