How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Pantoprazole Sodium). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Pantoprazole is a PPI that suppresses the final step in gastric acid production by covalently binding to the (H +, K + )-ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell.
This effect leads to inhibition of both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion, irrespective of the stimulus.
Pantoprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver through the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system.
After a single oral or intravenous dose of 14 C-labeled pantoprazole to healthy, normal metabolizer subjects, approximately 71% of the dose was excreted in the urine, with 18% excreted in the feces through biliary excretion.
Administration of pantoprazole sodium delayed-release tablets with food may delay its absorption up to 2 hours or longer; however, the C max and the extent of pantoprazole absorption (AUC) are not altered.
