Zovanta 40mg Tablet

Zovanta 40mg Tablet contains Pantoprazole, which belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Pantoprazole is used to reduce the production of stomach acid and is prescribed for the treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Features:

• Acid suppression: Pantoprazole inhibits the proton pump in the stomach lining, thereby reducing the secretion of gastric acid and decreasing the acidity of the stomach contents.
• Gastric ulcer healing: Zovanta Tablet promotes the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers and helps prevent their recurrence by reducing acid-related damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa.
• Symptom relief: It provides relief from symptoms of GERD, such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain, by alleviating acid reflux and irritation of the esophagus.
• Once-daily dosing: Zovanta 40mg Tablet is typically taken orally once daily, usually before a meal, for optimal effectiveness.

Uses:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Zovanta Tablet is indicated for the short-term treatment of GERD, a condition characterized by the backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation.
• Peptic ulcer disease: Pantoprazole is prescribed for the treatment and maintenance therapy of peptic ulcers, including gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, to promote healing and prevent complications.
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: It may also be used to manage Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare condition characterized by excessive gastric acid secretion and multiple peptic ulcers.

Directions for Use:

• Take one Zovanta 40mg Tablet orally with water, preferably before breakfast or as directed by your healthcare provider.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or break it, as this may affect its delayed-release formulation.
• The duration of treatment with Pantoprazole will depend on the underlying condition being treated and the individual’s response to therapy.
• Follow the prescribed dosage regimen and continue taking the medication for the full prescribed duration, even if you feel well.

Precautions:

• Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking before starting Zovanta Tablet.
• Long-term use of Pantoprazole may be associated with an increased risk of certain adverse effects, including bone fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea.
• Use caution in patients with severe liver impairment, as dosage adjustments may be necessary due to reduced drug metabolism and elimination.
• Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Zovanta 40mg Tablet, as it may exacerbate gastrointestinal side effects and interfere with the effectiveness of the medication.
• Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture.
