Action of Pantafon-40 (Pantoprazole)-
Pantafon-40 (Pantoprazole) decreases the production of acid in the stomach by irreversibly blocking the actions of an enzyme responsible for acid production, called H+/K+ ATPase. The proton pump is located in the parietal cells of the stomach wall. Both baseline gastric acid secretion and stimulated gastric acid secretion are affected; the degree that they are affected to depends upon the dose of pantoprazole.
Pantafon-40 helps to damage tissues in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum to heal.
