Special Precautions
Talk to the doctor before using Pantosala 40 mg: If there is severe liver problems. Please tell the doctor if there ever were problems with the liver in the past. The doctor will check the liver enzymes more frequently. In the case of a rise of liver enzymes the treatment should be stopped.
If taking a medicine containing atazanavir (for the treatment of HIV-infection) at the same time as pantoprazole, ask the doctor for specific advise.
Taking a proton pump inhibitor like Pantosala 40 mg, especially over a period of more than one year, may slightly increase the risk of fracture in the hip, wrist or spine. Tell the doctor if osteoporosis is present or if corticosteroids (which can increase the risk of osteoporosis) are being taken.
If there had ever been a skin reaction after treatment with a medicine similar to pantoprazole that reduces stomach acid.
If the patient gets a rash on the skin, especially in areas exposed to the sun the doctor must be told as soon as possible, as there may be a need to stop the treatment with pantoprazole. Remember to also mention any other ill-effects like pain in the joints.
Tell the doctor immediately if any of the following symptoms is noticed: an unintentional loss of weight; repeated vomiting; difficulty in swallowing; vomiting blood; looking pale and feeling weak (anaemia); noticing blood in the stools; severe and/or persistent diarrhoea, as pantoprazole has been associated with a small increase in infectious diarrhoea.
The doctor may decide that the patient needs some tests to rule out malignant disease because pantoprazole also alleviates the symptoms of cancer and could cause delay in diagnosing it. If the symptoms continue in spite of the treatment, further investigations will be considered.
Pantosala 40 mg contains Sodium: This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per vial, i.e. essentially 'sodium-free'.
Driving and using machines: If the patient experiences side effects like dizziness or disturbed vision, the patient should not drive or operate machines.
