PANTOLOC Control contains the active substance pantoprazole, which blocks the 'pump' that produces stomach acid. Hence it reduces the amount of acid in the stomach.
PANTOLOC Control is used for relief of heartburn symptoms associated with acid reflux in patients 18 years old or above.
Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet ("foodpipe"), which may become inflamed and painful. This may cause symptoms such as a painful burning sensation in the chest rising up to the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
Relief from acid reflux and heartburn symptoms may be experienced after just one day of treatment with PANTOLOC Control, but this medicine is not meant to bring immediate relief. It may be necessary to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days to relieve the symptoms.
Patients must be advised if the patient does not feel better or feel worse after 2 weeks.
