RIZIL CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION Ver 1.3 Page 1 of 4 RIZIL 40 Pantoprazole (as Sodium Sesquihydrate) CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET This leaflet answers some common questions about RIZIL. It does not contain all the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist. All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking RIZIL against the benefits this medicine is expected to have for you. Use RIZIL as directed and follow the advice given in the leaflet. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT TAKING THIS MEDICINE, ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST. KEEP THIS LEAFLET WITH THE MEDICINE. You may need to read it again. WHAT RIZIL IS USED FOR The name of your medicine is RIZIL. It contains the active ingredient called pantoprazole. ULCERS RIZIL 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 RIZIL is taken with antibiotics the combination therapy will kill the _Helicobacter pylori _ and let your ulcer heal. RIZIL 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 RIZIL 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. RIZIL is also used to prevent reflux oesophagitis from coming back. ZOLLINGE Aqra d-dokument sħiħ
