Pantex Tablet 20 mg contains Pantoprazole Sodium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces excess stomach acid production. It is commonly used for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), mild to moderate peptic ulcers, and acid indigestion. This lower-strength dose is often suitable for initial therapy, maintenance treatment, or patients requiring a milder dose for symptom control.
