Rare: Peripheral edema, diaphoresis, malaise, anaphylaxis, acne vulgaris, maculopapular rash, exfoliative dermatitis, alopecia, angioedema, erythema multiforme, belching, gastrointestinal disturbances, inflammation mouth, photophobia, blurred vision, somnolence, insomnia, agitation or inhibition, tremor, tinnitus, hallucinations, confusion, paresthesia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, impotence, hematuria, interstitial nephritis, jaundice, hepatitis, elevated triglycerides, encephalopathy in liver failure, hyponatremia. Note: If you see the above side effects or other unusual side effects when taking the drug, it is necessary to notify the treating doctor for advice and timely handling measures.

5. Drug interactions


Drugs whose absorption depends on the pH of the stomach: Theoretically, when Pantoprazol is used concomitantly with drugs whose absorption depends on the pH of the stomach (eg iron salts, Ampicillin esters, Ketoconazole) It may decrease or increase the absorption of the drug by increasing the pH of the stomach. Drugs Acting on the Liver Enzyme System: Pantoprazole is extensively metabolised in the liver and mainly via the cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isoenzyme 2C19, and to a lesser extent through the isoenzymes CYP3A4, CYP2D6 and CYP2C9. However, clinical trials have shown no significant interactions between pantoprazole and other drugs metabolised via the same isoenzyme. Warfarin: Concomitant use of Warfarin with proton pump inhibitors, including pantoprazole, has the potential to increase INR and prothrombin time. An increase in INR and prothrombin time should be monitored when pantoprazole is co-administered with warfarin. Sucralfate: May delay absorption and decrease the effect of proton pump inhibitors (eg Lansoprazole, Omeprazole). Therefore, a proton pump inhibitor should be taken at least 30 minutes before taking Sucralfate. In order to avoid drug interactions that affect the effectiveness of the drugs being taken, the patient should list and inform the treating doctor about all the medicines he is taking, including medicine for disease or other foods. functional products.
