WHAT PANTO IS USED
FOR
ULCERS
Panto is used to treat and help heal
duodenal and gastric ulcers.
Depending on the position of the
ulcer it is called a gastric or duodenal
ulcer. A gastric ulcer occurs in the
stomach. A duodenal ulcer occurs in
the duodenum which is the tube
leading out of the stomach.
These can be caused in part by too
much acid being made in the
stomach.
Most people who have a peptic ulcer
also have bacteria called
Helicobacter pylori in their stomach.
When Panto is taken with antibiotics
the combination therapy will kill the
Helicobacter pylori and let your ulcer
heal.
Panto may also be used to prevent
ulcers associated with the use of non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs). These are medicines used
to relieve pain, swelling and other
symptoms of inflammation, including
arthritis (inflammation of the joints).
REFLUX DISEASE
Panto is also used to treat reflux
oesophagitis or reflux disease. This
can be caused by "washing
back" (reflux) of food and acid from
the stomach into the food pipe, also
known as the oesophagus.
Reflux can cause a burning sensation
in the chest rising up to the throat,
also known as heartburn.
Panto is also used to prevent ref
