Pantoprazole is a proton‑pump inhibitor that acts on the gastric acid secretion pathway. It is indicated for: - Gastro‑oesophageal reflux disease (GERD): relief of heartburn and healing of erosive esophagitis. - Erosive gastritis and duodenal ulcers: promotes ulcer healing and reduces recurrence. - Zollinger‑Ellison syndrome: controls gastric acid hypersecretion associated with gastrin‑producing tumours. - Prevention of NSAID‑induced gastric ulcers: lowers the risk of ulcer formation in patients on long‑term NSAID therapy.

Pantoprazole is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.
