Description
Pantastic 40 MG Capsule is an anti-ulcer medicine. It is used to treat various stomach and intestinal conditions that may occur due to excess production of acid. These conditions include peptic ulcers (open sores on the walls of the stomach, small intestine, and food pipe), erosive esophagitis (swelling of the food pipe), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (a condition where the stomach acid flows back into the food pipe). Pantastic 40 MG Capsule reduces excess acid production in your stomach and relieves the symptoms such as heartburn, inability to swallow food, stomach pain, and vomiting. Pantastic 40 MG Capsule shows side effects like nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach pain, watery stools, and dizziness. These side effects are mild and subside by themselves. Consult your doctor if these side effects worsen or last for a long time. Pantastic 40 MG Capsule should be taken preferably one hour before a meal. The dose and duration of treatment will be decided by your doctor. If you take Pantastic 40 MG Capsule for heartburn, it may take 1-2 days to control your symptoms. However, if your condition does not improve in few days, consult your doctor to know the underlying reason. Pantastic 40 MG Capsule should not be used if you are allergic to it. It is not recommended for use in children below 5 years of age. Inform your doctor if you have liver and bone problems. If you take Pantastic 40 MG Capsule for a longer duration, use it with caution as it may decrease the magnesium level in your body and/or increase the risk of bone fracture.
