Description
Pantoprazole is proton pump Inhibitor ,i.e, it inhibits specifically and dose proportionally H+,K+-ATPase the enzyme which is responsible for gastric acid secretion in the parietal cells of the stomach.
Interactions
Concomitant intake of food has no influence on the bioavailability
Pantoprazole may reduce or increase the absorption of drugs whose bioavailability is Ph-dependent e.g.ketoconazole.
Studies in humans reveal no interaction with the cytochrome P450-system of the liver. There was no induction of the cytochrome P450-system after chronic administration as shown with marker antipyrine and no interactions were observed after concomitant administration of Pantoprazole with either antiphyrine, diazepam, theophylline, digoxin, oralconraceptiveshenytoin, nifedipine, carbamazepine, diclofenac, metoprolol, glibenclamide, ethanol and caffeine. Concomitant administration of warfarin or phenprocoumon has no influence on its effect on coagulation factors.
Antacid do not interact with Pantoprazole.
