PANTOLOC Control contains the active substance pantoprazole, which blocks the 'pump' that produces stomach acid. Hence it reduces the amount of acid in the stomach.
PANTOLOC Control is used for relief of heartburn symptoms associated with acid reflux in patients of 18 years old or above.
Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet ("foodpipe"), which may become inflamed and painful. This may cause symptoms such as a painful burning sensation in the chest rising up to the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
The patient may experience relief from acid reflux and heartburn symptoms after just one day of treatment with PANTOLOC Control, but this medicine is not meant to bring immediate relief. It may be necessary to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days to relieve the symptoms.
The patient must talk to a doctor if he/she does not feel better or feel worse after 2 weeks.
