PANTOPRAZOLE FOR is a brand name for Pantoprazole, supplied as a powder for solution. The medicine, its uses, side effects and dosage are the same regardless of brand.
Used for: Pantoprazole for Injection is indicated for the short-term treatment (up to 7 days) of conditions where a rapid reduction of gastric acid secretion is required, such as the following: • Reflux esophagitis, in hospitalized patients who cannot tolerate oral medication • Pathological hypersecretion associated with…

1 Dosing Considerations Patients should be switched to pantoprazole sodium tablets when feasible. In switching, the same dose mg per mg should be administered. Daily doses of up to 272 mg pantoprazole intravenous were administered and were well tolerated.
Pantoprazole for injection has been administered for up to 7 days in clinical trials. Tolerance effects are not associated with the use of pantoprazole sodium for injection as demonstrated in clinical trials. 2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use.
Pantoprazole for Injection Page 5 of 29 Unclassified / Non classifié Reflux Esophagitis: The recommended adult dose of Pantoprazole for Injection in patients with reflux esophagitis is 40 mg pantoprazole per day, administered either by slow intravenous injection over 2 to 5 minutes, or by intravenous infusion over 15 minutes.
Pathological Hypersecretion Associated with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome:
For patients with pathological hypersecretion associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the recommended adult dose is 80 mg every 12 hours, administered by intravenous infusion over 15 minutes. Doses of 120 mg twice daily and 80 mg three times per day were also used to control acid output to below 10 mEq/h.
Patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy, appropriate to the condition being treated. 3 Reconstitution Parenteral Products: Pantoprazole for Injection should not be simultaneously administered through the same line with other intravenous solutions, and it is recommended that a dedicated line or a flushed line be used for administration.

). • Clostridium Difficile-Associated Diarrhea Decreased gastric acidity due to any means, including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), increases gastric counts of bacteria normally present in the gastrointestinal tract. Treatment with PPIs can lead to an increased risk of gastrointestinal infections such as Salmonella, Campylobacter and Clostridium difficile.
An increased risk for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been observed in association with PPI use in several observational studies. CDI/CDAD should be considered in the differential diagnosis for diarrhea that does not improve.
Additional risk factors for CDI and CDAD include recent hospitalization, the use of antibiotics, old age and the presence of co- morbidities. Patients should be prescribed PPIs at the lowest dose and for the shortest duration required for the condition being treated and be reassessed to ascertain whether continued PPI therapy remains beneficial.
• Concomitant Use with Methotrexate Literature suggests that concomitant use of PPIs with methotrexate (primarily at high dose) may elevate and prolong serum levels of methotrexate and/or its metabolite, possibly leading to methotrexate toxicities.
A temporary withdrawal of the PPI may be considered in some patients receiving treatments with high dose methotrexate. Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis Effects of long-term treatment include hypergastrinemia, possible enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell hyperplasia and carcinoid formation in the stomach, adenomas and carcinomas in the liver and neoplastic changes in the thyroid.
Pantoprazole for Injection Page 9 of 29 Unclassified / Non classifié In the rat, the mechanism leading to the formation of gastric carcinoids is considered to be due to the elevated gastrin level occurring during chronic treatment.

Similar observations have also been made after administration of other acid secretion inhibitors. (For further details, see 16 NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY) Short-term and long-term treatment with pantoprazole sodium in a limited number of patients up to 6 years have not resulted in any significant pathological changes in gastric oxyntic exocrine cells.
• Drug Interactions with Antiretroviral Drugs PPIs have been reported to interact with some antiretroviral drugs. The clinical importance and the mechanisms behind these interactions are not always known. A change in gastric pH may change the absorption of the antiretroviral drug.
Other possible mechanisms are via CYP 2Cl9. Rilpivirine Co-administration is contraindicated due to significant decrease in rilpivirine exposure and loss of therapeutic effect (see 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS). Atazanavir and Nelfinavir Co-administration with atazanavir or nelfinavir is not recommended due to decreased atazanavir, nelfinavir and rilpivirine exposure (see the REYATAZ® and VIRACEPT® Product Monographs).
If the combination of Pantoprazole for Injection with atazanavir is judged unavoidable, close clinical monitoring is recommended in combination with the use of 400 mg atazanavir/100 mg ritonavir dose; the dose of Pantoprazole for Injection should not exceed an equivalent dose of omeprazole of 20 mg daily (see REYATAZ® Product Monograph).
Saquinavir If Pantoprazole for Injection is co-administered with saquinavir/ritonavir, caution and monitoring for potential saquinavir toxicities, including gastrointestinal symptoms, increased triglycerides, deep vein thrombosis and QT prolongation, are recommended.
Dose reduction of saquinavir should be considered from the safety perspective for individual patients (see INVIRASE® Product Monograph). Endocrine and Metabolism • Hypomagnesemia Hypomagnesemia, symptomatic and asymptomatic, has been reported in patients treated with PPIs for at least three months, in most cases after a year of therapy.
Serious adverse events include tetany, arrhythmias, and seizures. In most patients, treatment of hypomagnesemia required magnesium replacement and discontinuation of the PPI. , diuretics), healthcare professionals may consider monitoring magnesium levels prior to initiation of PPI treatment and periodically.
The chronic use of PPIs may lead to hypomagnesemia. Moreover, hypokalemia and hypocalcemia have been reported in the literature as accompanying electrolyte disorders. • Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) Deficiency Pantoprazole for Injection Page 10 of 29 Unclassified / Non classifié The prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors may impair the absorption of protein-bound Vitamin B12 and may contribute to the development of cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) deficiency.
Interference with Laboratory Tests During treatment with antisecretory drugs, chromogranin A (CgA) increases due to decreased gastric acidity. Increased CgA levels may interfere with investigations for neuroendocrine tumors. To avoid this interference, Pantoprazole for Injection treatment should be stopped 14 days before CgA measurements (see
