Ecsopan 40mg Injection 1

Ecsopan 40mg Injection 1 is used for treating acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine, such as acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is particularly helpful for managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults with a history of erosive esophagitis who cannot take the oral form of pantoprazole. Additionally, it is effective in treating pathological hypersecretory conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome in adults.

Administer Ecsopan 40mg Injection 1 as guided below:

• Always ensure that a healthcare professional administers this injection in a clinical setting.
• Please consult your doctor for any specific advice or instructions.

Ecsopan 40mg Injection 1 is administered intravenously.

Ecsopan 40mg Injection 1 contains pantoprazole (40 mg), which acts on your body through the following mechanisms:

• Proton Pump Inhibition: Pantoprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by irreversibly blocking an enzyme system in your stomach known as the H+/K+ ATPase or proton pump. This inhibits both basal and stimulated acid secretion.
• Gastric pH Increase: By suppressing gastric acid secretion, pantoprazole effectively increases the pH of your stomach.
• Healing of Oesophageal Inflammation: Pantoprazole's action mechanism minimises the oesophagus's exposure to acidic gastric contents, allowing inflammation and other symptoms of GERD to heal over time.

• Store Ecsopan 40mg Injection 1 vials at a cool temperature.
• Keep them away from direct light to maintain their effectiveness.
• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children for safety reasons.

• If you're managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with Ecsopan 40mg Injection 1, try to limit your intake of spicy and fatty foods. These can aggravate your condition by increasing acid reflux.
• For those using it for pathological hypersecretory conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, ensure to take a well-balanced diet.
