Mechanism of action of pantoprazole:
-
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that suppresses the final
step in gastric acid production by forming a covalent bond to two sites of the
(H+,K+ )- ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal
cell. This effect is dose- related and leads to inhibition of both basal and
stimulated gastric acid secretion irrespective of the stimulus.
