Pepfas 40mg Tablet

Pepfas 40mg Tablet contains Pantoprazole as its active ingredient. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for the treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions associated with excess stomach acid production. It works by reducing the production of gastric acid by blocking the proton pump in the stomach lining, thereby alleviating symptoms and promoting healing.

Uses:

Pepfas 40mg Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion by decreasing the acidity of the stomach contents.

The dosage of Pepfas 40mg Tablet is determined based on the specific condition being treated, severity of symptoms, and individual patient response.
