Human medicines European public assessment report (EPAR): Pantozol Control, pantoprazole, Gastroesophageal Reflux, Date of authorisation: 11/06/2009, Revision: 17, Status: Authorised
The active substance in Pantozol Control, pantoprazole, is a proton-pump inhibitor. It works by blocking ‘proton pumps’, proteins found in specialised cells in the stomach lining that pump acid into the stomach. By blocking the pumps, pantoprazole reduces acid production, relieving the symptoms of acid reflux.
Pantoprazole-containing medicines have been available in the European Union (EU) since 1994. The reference medicine, Pantozol, is only available with a prescription. It is used for long-term treatments and is also used to treat a wider range of gastrointestinal diseases (conditions affecting the gut) than Pantozol Control.
