class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Pantoprazole SUN is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pantoprazole SUN contains the active substance pantoprazole.&nbsp;<strong>Pantoprazole SUN is a&nbsp;selective&nbsp;&#8220;proton pump inhibitor&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;that reduces the amount of acid formed in your stomach.&nbsp;It is used to treat acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This&nbsp;preparation&nbsp;is injected into a vein and will only be used if your doctor thinks that pantoprazole injections are currently better suited for you than pantoprazole tablets.&nbsp;Tablets will replace the&nbsp;injections&nbsp;as soon as the doctor deems it appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pantoprazole SUN is used to treat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>reflux esophagitis.\u00a0Inflammation\u00a0of the esophagus is accompanied by acid reflux.<\/li><li>ulcers in the stomach and\u00a0duodenum\u00a0one.<\/li><li>Zollinger-Ellison syndrome\u00a0and other conditions with too much acid in the stomach.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pantoprazole contained in Pantoprazole SUN may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Pantoprazole SUN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Pantoprazole SUN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to pantoprazole or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)<\/li><li>if you are allergic to other medicines that contain\u00a0proton pump inhibitors.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before receiving Pantoprazole SUN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have severe liver problems.\u00a0Tell your doctor if you have ever had problems with your liver.\u00a0Your doctor will then check your liver enzymes more often.\u00a0If liver enzymes increase, treatment should be discontinued.\u00a0V022 2<\/li><li>If you are taking a drug containing atazanavir (for the treatment of\u00a0HIV\u00a0infection\u00a0) at the same time as pantoprazole,\u00a0you should talk to your doctor for special advice.<\/li><li>if you use Pantoprazole SUN for more than three months, your blood magnesium levels may drop.\u00a0Low magnesium levels can be seen as fatigue, involuntary muscle movements, confusion, cramps, dizziness, or fast heart rate.\u00a0If you experience any of these symptoms, tell your doctor immediately.\u00a0Low levels of\u00a0magnesium\u00a0can also lead to decreased levels of\u00a0potassium\u00a0or\u00a0calcium\u00a0in the blood.\u00a0Your doctor may measure the level of magnesium in your blood using regular blood tests (see section 2).<\/li><li>if you have ever had a skin reaction after treatment with a medicine similar to Pantoprazole SUN that reduces stomach acid.<\/li><li>if you are going to have a specific blood test (chromogranin A).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact your doctor immediately<\/strong>&nbsp;if you notice any of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>unjustified weight loss<\/li><li>repeated vomiting<\/li><li>difficulty swallowing<\/li><li>bloody vomiting<\/li><li>you look pale and feel weak (which may be due to\u00a0anemia\u00a0)<\/li><li>bloody stools<\/li><li>chest pain<\/li><li>magnet<\/li><li>severe and\/or persistent diarrhea, when a link has been found between Pantoprazole SUN and a small increase in infectious diarrhea.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get a rash, especially in areas exposed to the sun, tell your doctor as soon as possible as you may need to stop taking Pantoprazole SUN.\u00a0Also remember to mention any other\u00a0side effects, such as joint pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor may decide that you need to undergo some tests to rule out serious illness as pantoprazole may also relieve the symptoms of cancer and could delay such a diagnosis.&nbsp;If your symptoms persist despite your treatment, further examinations should be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using\u00a0proton pump inhibitors\u00a0such as Pantoprazole SUN and especially if you use Pantoprazole SUN for more than a year may increase the risk of hip, wrist, or vertebral fractures.\u00a0Tell your doctor if you have osteoporosis\u00a0or\u00a0if you are taking medicines called\u00a0corticosteroids\u00a0as they may increase the risk of osteoporosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and adults<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pantoprazole SUN is not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age due to a lack of data in this age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Pantoprazole SUN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.\u00a0Pantoprazole SUN can affect the effectiveness of other medicines, so tell your doctor if you use<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>medicines such as\u00a0ketoconazole, itraconazole, and posaconazole (for the treatment of fungal infections) or erlotinib (for the treatment of certain cancers) as Pantoprazole SUN 40 mg may cause these and other medicines to not work properly<\/li><li>warfarin\u00a0and phenprocoumon which affect the thickness of the blood.\u00a0You may need additional controls<\/li><li>atazanavir and other medicines used to\u00a0treat\u00a0HIV\u00a0infection.<\/li><li>methotrexate (used to treat rheumatism,\u00a0psoriasis,\u00a0and cancer).\u00a0If you are taking methotrexate, your doctor may temporarily stop taking Pantoprazole SUN, as pantoprazole may increase the levels of methotrexate in your blood.<\/li><li>fluvoxamine (for the treatment of depression and other psychiatric disorders).\u00a0If you are taking fluvoxamine, your doctor may reduce the\u00a0dose\u00a0to one<\/li><li>rifampicin (for the treatment of\u00a0infections\u00a0)<\/li><li>St. John&#8217;s wort\u00a0(Hypericum perforatum) (for the treatment of mild depression).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no data on the use of pantoprazole in pregnant women.\u00a0Excretion in breast milk has been reported.\u00a0If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or breastfeeding, only use this medicine if your doctor thinks the benefits to you outweigh the risks to the fetus or baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pantoprazole SUN has no or negligible effect on the ability to drive and use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;such as dizziness and visual disturbances, do not drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pantoprazole SUN contains sodium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg)\u00a0sodium\u00a0per maximum daily\u00a0dose, ie is essential &#8216;sodium-free&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Pantoprazole SUN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your nurse or doctor will give you your daily&nbsp;dose&nbsp;as an&nbsp;injection&nbsp;into a vein for 2-15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the treatment of ulcers in the stomach, duodenal ulcers,\u00a0and\u00a0reflux\u00a0oesophagitis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One&nbsp;vial&nbsp;(40 mg pantoprazole) daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For long-term treatment of&nbsp;Zollinger-Ellison syndrome&nbsp;and other conditions with too much acid in the stomach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two vials (80 mg pantoprazole) daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor may later change the\u00a0dose\u00a0depending on how much acid is formed in your stomach.\u00a0If you are taking more than two vials (80 mg) per day, the\u00a0injections\u00a0should be divided into two equal\u00a0doses.\u00a0Your doctor may prescribe a temporary\u00a0dose\u00a0higher than 4 vials (160 mg) per day.\u00a0If the acid levels in the stomach need to be corrected immediately, a starting dose of 4 vials (160 mg) is usually sufficient to reduce the stomach acid sufficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patients with hepatic impairment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have severe liver problems, the daily&nbsp;injection&nbsp;should not exceed 20 mg (half a&nbsp;vial&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These&nbsp;injections&nbsp;are not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you use more Pantoprazole SUN than you should&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g.\u00a0If a child has ingested the medicine, contact a doctor or hospital by mistake for assessment of the risk and advice.\u00a0The doses\u00a0are carefully monitored by a nurse or doctor so an overdose is very unlikely.\u00a0There are no known symptoms of overdose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you get any of the following\u00a0side effects, tell your doctor immediately, or contact your local emergency
