Frequently asked questions FOR Opan-IT
Pantoprazole
Q. What is Pantoprazole used for?
Pantoprazole is used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease, reflux esophagitis or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Pantoprazole prevents acidity associated with use of painkillers. It is also used to treat a disease associated with excessive acid production in the stomach known as Zollinger Ellison syndrome (ZES). It works by reducing the amount of acid made by your stomach and thus relieves your symptoms.
Q. How long does it take for Pantoprazole to work?
You should start to feel better within 2 to 3 days. It may take up to 4 weeks for Pantoprazole to work properly so you may still have some symptoms during this time.
Q. Is Pantoprazole safe?
Yes, Pantoprazole is relatively safe. Most of the people who take Pantoprazole do not get a side effect. It is advised to be taken as directed by the doctor for maximum benefits.
Itopride
Q. Is Itopride safe in pregnancy?
Due to lack of safety data, Itopride should not be used during pregnancy or in women suspected with pregnancy until and unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Discuss with your doctor who will analyze your condition and decide whether you can take Itopride during pregnancy or not.
Q. How long can I take Itopride?
Itopride is recommended to be taken thrice daily before meals. The duration of therapy will depend on the response of the patient towards the therapy. The exact dose and duration will be decided by your doctor depending on individual need and response.
Q. Is Itopride bad for kidneys?
Itopride and its metabolites are mainly excreted via the kidneys. Therefore, people with any kidney problems should remain careful while taking Itopride. Regular tests for kidney function are required and if side effects related to kidneys (creatinine increased) occur, the medicine is generally discontinued or the dose is reduced.
