See 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and 8 ADVERSE REACTIONS. 1 Adverse Reaction Overview PANTOPRAZOLE MAGNESIUM (pantoprazole magnesium) is well tolerated. Most adverse events have been mild and transient showing no consistent relationship with treatment.
2%). No differences in adverse reactions are expected between pantoprazole magnesium and pantoprazole sodium. 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. In a short term study (40 mg pantoprazole magnesium tablet, once daily for 7 days) in patients with GERD, and in a 4 to 8-week clinical trial in 636 GERD patients, the adverse event profile seen with the pantoprazole magnesium 40 mg tablet was similar to that seen with the pantoprazole sodium 40 mg tablet.
No differences in adverse reactions are expected between pantoprazole magnesium and pantoprazole sodium. Adverse events have been recorded during controlled clinical investigations in 13000 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 sodium 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.
2 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 sodium therapy (20 mg or 40 mg once daily) in short-term and long-term clinical trials.
