Neege 40mg Tablet

Neege 40mg Tablet contains Pantoprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed to treat various gastrointestinal conditions associated with excessive acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and erosive esophagitis.

Uses:

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Neege 40mg Tablet is effective in relieving symptoms of GERD, including heartburn, acid regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing, by reducing the production of stomach acid.
2. Peptic Ulcers: It helps in healing and preventing peptic ulcers (gastric and duodenal ulcers) caused by excess acid production and erosion of the stomach lining.
3. Erosive Esophagitis: Neege 40mg Tablet aids in the healing of erosive esophagitis, a condition characterized by inflammation and damage to the esophageal lining due to stomach acid.
4. Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: In individuals with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare disorder causing excessive gastric acid secretion, Pantoprazole helps in reducing acid production and managing associated symptoms.

1. Renal Impairment: Patients with kidney problems should use Neege 40mg Tablet cautiously, as dosage adjustment may be necessary to avoid drug accumulation and potential toxicity.
2. Hepatic Impairment: Individuals with severe liver disease should use Pantoprazole with caution, as altered drug metabolism may lead to higher drug levels in the body.
3. Osteoporosis: Prolonged use of PPIs like Pantoprazole may increase the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures, particularly in elderly individuals or those with other risk factors for bone loss.
4. Clostridium difficile Infection: Long-term use of Pantoprazole may elevate the risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, a potentially serious bacterial infection of the colon.
