Pdpan 40mg Injection contains Pantoprazole as an active ingredient. It is used to treat reflux oesophagitis (inflammation of the tube connecting the throat to your stomach caused by reflux of acid from the stomach), stomach, and duodenal ulcers.

Talk to your physician if you have severe liver problems, if you are taking atazanavir (treats HIV infection), or due to have a specific blood test (chromogranin A).Â
