Description:
Pantoprazole magnesium belongs to the family of medications called proton pump inhibitors. Proton pump inhibitors are used to treat conditions where a reduction in stomach acid is needed, such as stomach ulcers, duodenal (intestinal) ulcers, reflux esophagitis (a severe form of heartburn), and symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD; e.g., heartburn and acid regurgitation).
