Prazadol 40mg Pantoprazole Powder for Injection - 1 Vial
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding from stomach ulcers or severe erosive esophagitis requires immediate, powerful acid suppression to promote blood clotting and tissue healing. Prazadol 40mg Injection delivers rapid intravenous proton pump inhibition. By directly blocking the final stage of gastric acid secretion (the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme), it completely shuts down acid production, protecting the stomach lining in critically ill or post-surgical hospital patients.
How to Use / Operate
Must be reconstituted with 10ml of normal saline and administered intravenously by a doctor or nurse. Given as a slow IV injection (over at least 2 minutes) or diluted further for a continuous IV infusion according to clinical ward protocols.
