Description
Panpure 20 mg Infusion is an anti-ulcer medicine used to treat conditions where the stomach produces too much acid. Stomach and duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome are certain problems caused by high levels of stomach acid. Panpure 20 mg Infusion helps in the treatment of active gastric (stomach) or duodenal (small intestine) ulcers with bleeding or severe erosions.
Panpure 20 mg Infusion interferes with the final step of acid release in the stomach. Thus, acidity in the stomach is decreased and the ulcer healing process is fastened. Common side effects of Panpure 20 mg Infusion are headache, pain at the injection site, diarrhoea, and dizziness. Do not use this medicine if you are previously allergic to it.
Panpure 20 mg Infusion is administered into your vein by a health care professional in a hospital or clinic. S-Pantoprazole injection is used in patients with damage to their oesophagus (the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach) or who are unable to take oral forms of s-pantoprazole. You should avoid spicy and fatty foods, alcohol, and reduce caffeinated drinks or beverage such as coffee, tea and cola if you have acid-related diseases. Eat a healthy and balanced diet. Always try to finish your dinner three hours before heading to bed.

Uses of Panpure 20 mg Infusion
What is it prescribed for?
Erosive Esophagitis
Esophagitis is the swelling of the oesophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It occurs when excess acid produced in the stomach flow back into the oesophagus. It can also be caused due to an infection or irritation in the oesophagus. All these reasons can irritate and damage the lining of the oesophagus, resulting in a condition called erosive oesophagitis. Panpure 20 mg Infusion is used to treat erosive esophagitis by decreasing stomach acid production.
Gastroesophagal Reflux Disease
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is an acid reflux disease that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus or food pipe. Heartburn and acid indigestion are the main symptoms of GERD. This condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications to an extent. But sometimes medications or surgery is needed to get relief. Panpure 20 mg Infusion helps in the treatment of GERD by decreasing stomach acid production.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome is a condition in which tumours form in the pancreas (an organ located behind the stomach) and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). These tumours produce a hormone called gastrin which in turn causes excessive stomach acid. Panpure 20 mg Infusion is used to treat an excessive amount of acid produced in the stomach due to tumours.
