WHAT SOMAC CONTROL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
SOMAC Control contains the active substance pantoprazole, which blocks
the ‘pump’ that produces
stomach acid. Hence it reduces the amount of acid in your stomach.
SOMAC Control is used for the short-term treatment of reflux symptoms
(for example heartburn, acid
regurgitation) in adults.
Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet
(“foodpipe”), which may become
inflamed and painful. This may cause you symptoms such as a painful
burning sensation in the chest
rising up to the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth
(acid regurgitation).
You may experience relief from your acid reflux and heartburn symptoms
after just one day of
treatment with SOMAC Control, but this medicine is not meant to bring
immediate relief. It may be
necessary to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days to relieve the
symptoms.
