Pentab 20 Tablet 15 contains pantoprazole (20 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Inhibits proton pump: Pantoprazole works by blocking a system called the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme (proton pump) in your stomach lining cells. This system plays a vital role in producing stomach acid.

• Reduces acid secretion: By inhibiting the proton pump, pantoprazole effectively reduces both stimulated and basal gastric acid secretions. This helps in relieving symptoms associated with excessive stomach acid and promotes healing of the oesophagus and stomach lining.

• Store Pentab 20 Tablet 15 at room temperature.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• It's crucial to keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Always check the expiration date on the pack before using it.

• Include more fibre-rich foods in your diet. Foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms.

• Cut down on spicy, fatty, or fried foods that might trigger acid reflux or stomach ulcers. Instead, opt for lighter cooking methods, such as grilling or steaming.
