Pantid 40 mg is a proton pump inhibitor that works by covalently attaching to the H /K ATPase enzyme system on the surface of the gastric parietal cell to decrease the last stage of gastric acid generation. Regardless of the stimulus that remains for more than 24 hours, this impact results in a suppression of both basal and induced stomach acid secretion.

Direction for use of IV injection: Pantid 40 mg lyophilized powder with 0.9percent Sodium Chloride Injection must only be administered intravenously and under no other circumstances. A gradual intravenous dose of Pantid 40 mg should be administered. The powder-containing vial is mixed with 10 ml of 0.9percent sodium chloride injection to create the IV injection solution. Upon reconstitution, the injection should be administered gradually over a minimum of 2 to 5 minutes. Use just recently made solutions. The reconstituted solution can be kept for up to 4 hours at room temperature (up to 30° C). How to administer an IV infusion: An intravenous infusion of Pantid 40 mg should be administered over roughly 15 minutes. An IV infusion of Pantid 40 mg needs to be reconstituted with 10 ml of 0.9percent sodium chloride injection before being further diluted (admixed) to a final volume of 100 ml using 0.9percent sodium chloride injection, 5percent dextrose, or lactated ringer's injection. Prior to further dilution, the reconstituted solution may be kept at room temperature (up to 30° C) for a maximum of 4 hours. The admixed solution must be used within 24 hours of the initial reconstitution and may be kept at room temperature (up to 30° C).
