Pentab 40 Tablet contains pantoprazole (40 mg), which works in the following ways:

• Blocks Proton Pump: Pantoprazole works by irreversibly blocking an enzyme in your stomach called H+/K+ ATPase, also known as the proton pump. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the final step of acid production in your stomach.

• Reduces Stomach Acid: By inhibiting the activity of the proton pump, pantoprazole effectively reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. This action alleviates symptoms related to excess stomach acid and promotes the healing of damaged tissues.
