Full Prescribing Info
Dosage/Direction for Use
The nurse or the doctor will administer the daily dose to the patient as an injection into a vein over a period of 2-15 minutes.
The usual dose is: For gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers and reflux oesophagitis: One vial (40 mg pantoprazole) a day.
For the long-term treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions in which too much stomach acid is produced: Two vials (80 mg pantoprazole) a day.
The doctor may later adjust the dose, depending on the amount of stomach acid the patient produces. If the patient is prescribed more than two vials (80 mg) a day, the injections will be given in two equal doses. The doctor may prescribe a temporary dose of more than four vials (160 mg) a day. If the stomach acid level needs to be controlled rapidly, a starting dose of 160 mg (four vials) should be enough to lower the amount of stomach acid sufficiently.
Use in children (under 18 years): These injections are not recommended for use in children.
Special patient groups: If the patient suffers from severe liver problems, the daily injection should be only 20 mg (half a vial).
