Pantoprazole sodium
CAS#: 164579-32-2
Pantoprazole sodium is the sodium salt form of pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It works by inhibiting the gastric proton pump, thereby reducing stomach acid production. The sodium form enhances its solubility, making it easier for administration and absorption. It is commonly prescribed for oral or intravenous use.
