Pharmacological Effects
Pantoprazole binds to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system, inhibiting gastric acid production. This leads to long-lasting suppression of acid secretion, effective for acid-related disorders.
Clinical Trials and Comparative Effectiveness
Clinical trials show pantoprazole’s rapid relief in GERD and erosive esophagitis. A study found it more effective in maintaining remission of erosive esophagitis compared to other proton pump inhibitors.
