Pantoloc Control Drug Interactions

Tell the doctor or pharmacist if the patient is using, have recently used or might use any other medicines. PANTOLOC Control may stop certain other medicines from working properly. Especially medicines containing one of the following active substances: HIV protease inhibitors such as atazanavir, nelfinavir (for the treatment of HIV-infection). The patient must not use PANTOLOC Control if taking HIV protease inhibitors. See Contraindications; ketoconazole (used for fungal infections); warfarin and phenprocoumon (used to thin blood and prevent clots). The patient may need further blood tests; methotrexate (used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer) - if the patient is taking methotrexate, the doctor may temporarily stop the PANTOLOC Control treatment because pantoprazole can increase levels of methotrexate in the blood.
Do not take PANTOLOC Control with other medicines which limit the amount of acid produced in the stomach, such as another proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, lansoprazole or rabeprazole) or an H2 antagonist (e.g. ranitidine, famotidine).
However, the patient may take PANTOLOC Control with antacids (e.g. magaldrate, alginic acid, sodium bicarbonate, aluminium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, or combinations thereof), if needed.
