Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity, the potential risk for humans is unknown. JAMP-Pantoprazole should not be administered to pregnant women unless the expected benefits outweigh the potential risks to the fetus. See 16 NON-CLINICALTOXICOLOGY, Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology.

Most adverse events have been mild and transient showing no consistent relationship with treatment. 2%). 2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. Therefore, the adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials, may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug.
Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be useful in identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use. Adverse events have been recorded during controlled clinical investigations in over 13,000 patients exposed to pantoprazole sodium as the single therapeutic agent for treatment of conditions requiring acid suppression.
The following adverse reactions considered possibly, probably, or definitely related by the investigator have been reported in individuals receiving pantoprazole therapy (20 mg or 40 mg once daily) in long-term clinical trials (duration of at least 6 months).
There were a limited number of H. pylori positive patients in these studies and therefore, definitive conclusions with regard to long-term consequences of H. pylori infection and acid suppressive treatment on gastric inflammation in this sub-group cannot be made.
Table 2. 2 For long-term treatment with 20 mg, no such events were reported with a frequency of more than 1%. JAMP-Pantoprazole (Pantoprazole Sodium Delayed-Release Tablets) Page 13 of 49 In addition, the following adverse events with a frequency of ≥ 1% considered unrelated, or unlikely related by the investigator have been reported in individuals receiving pantoprazole therapy (20 mg or 40 mg once daily) in short-term and long-term clinical trials.

Diarrhea General Disorders Influenza Like Illness Nervous System Disorders Headache A total of 1217 patients were treated with triple combination therapy including pantoprazole sodium and two antibiotics. Adverse events noted at a frequency of greater than or equal to 1% when pantoprazole sodium was used in combination with antibiotics for the eradication of an H.

Symptomatic Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) The recommended adult oral dose for the treatment of symptoms of GERD, including heartburn and regurgitation, is JAMP-Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily for up to 4 weeks.

In most patients, healing usually occurs within 4 weeks. For patients not healed after this initial course of therapy, an additional 4 weeks of treatment is recommended. Both 20 mg and 40 mg once daily have been demonstrated to be effective in the maintenance of healing of reflux esophagitis.
If maintenance therapy fails when using 20 mg once daily, consideration may be given to the 40 mg daily dose as maintenance therapy. Prevention of Gastrointestinal Lesions Induced by NSAIDs The recommended adult oral dose of JAMP-Pantoprazole is 20 mg, given once daily in the morning.
Geriatrics No dose adjustment is recommended for elderly patients. The daily dose used in elderly patients, as a rule, should not exceed the recommended dosage regimens. 3 Pharmacokinetics, Special Populations and Conditions. Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use.
