CompositionLupipan Injection 10ml is used to treat severe acid-related conditions such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It contains pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).
This medicine is given to patients in hospital with severe heartburn, acid regurgitation and stomach discomfort, and is useful when medicines by mouth cannot be tolerated or rapid reduction of stomach acid is needed. It sharply reduces acid, allowing the food pipe and stomach lining to heal and helping prevent stress-related ulcers. It is given by a healthcare professional as a slow injection or drip, usually as a short-term treatment until you can switch to tablets.
Your care team will monitor your symptoms and, where relevant, your blood magnesium levels during treatment to ensure the medicine is working safely.
Consult your doctor before treatment, and tell them if you have severe liver disease or low magnesium levels. Report persistent or worsening stomach pain, redness or swelling at the injection site, or signs of an allergic reaction, to your care team.
