Renal impairment: No dosage adjustment needed.

Concomitant use w/ rilpivirine, atazanavir and nelfinavir. Lactation.

Pantoprazole is a substituted benzimidazole, and also known as PPI due to its property to block the final step of acid secretion by inhibiting H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system in gastric parietal cell. Both basal and stimulated acid are inhibited.

Gastric malignancy should be ruled out. Consider Zn++ supplementation during IV therapy in patients who are prone to Zn++ deficiency. Pregnancy. Monitoring Parameters Monitor Mg levels prior to initiation and periodically during prolonged use. Lactation Risk Summary Pantoprazole has been detected in breast milk of a nursing mother after a single 40 mg oral dose of pantoprazole. There were no effects on the breastfed infant. There are no data on pantoprazole effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for PROTONIX and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from pantoprazole or from the underlying maternal condition.

Risk Summary Available data from published observational studies did not demonstrate an association of major malformations or other adverse pregnancy outcomes with pantoprazole. In animal reproduction studies, no evidence of adverse development outcomes was observed with pantoprazole. Reproduction studies have been performed in rats at oral doses up to 450 mg/kg/day (about 88 times the recommended human dose) and rabbits at oral doses up to 40 mg/kg/day (about 16 times the recommended human dose) with administration of pantoprazole during organogenesis in pregnant animals and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to pantoprazole in this study.

Increased risk of digoxin-induced cardiotoxic effects. Increased risk of hypomagnesaemia w/ diuretics. May increase INR and prothrombin time of warfarin. May increase serum concentration of methotrexate and saquinavir. Delayed absorption and decreased bioavailability w/ sucralfate. Decreased absorption of ketoconazole, itraconazole. Potentially Fatal: May decrease serum levels and pharmacological effects of rilpivirine, atazanavir and nelfinavir.
