Pansec Tablet is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for treating acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine such as heartburn, acid reflux, and peptic ulcer disease. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This medicine is also used to prevent stomach ulcers and acidity that may be seen with prolonged use of painkillers.
It is important to take Pansec Tablet one hour before a meal, preferably in the morning. The dosage will depend on your underlying condition and how you respond to the medicine. It is recommended to continue taking the medicine as prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear quickly. In addition, you can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment by consuming smaller meals more frequently and avoiding caffeinated drinks, spicy or fatty foods.
While the side effects of this medicine are generally mild, they may include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, flatulence, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Long-term use of this medicine may increase the risk of certain side effects, such as bone fractures, especially with higher doses. Consult your doctor about ways to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis), like taking calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking medicines for HIV, have ever had an allergic reaction to similar medicines in the past, or suffer from bone loss (osteoporosis).
