How Pantodac Tablet Works:
Pantodac 40 contains Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), which works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach. These pumps are responsible for producing stomach acid. By inhibiting these pumps, Pantodac 40 reduces the amount of stomach acid, which helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach ulcers, and promotes healing of damaged tissue.
