Pantoprazole + Zinc Carnosine

Introduction

Pantoprazole + Zinc Carnosine is a combination medicine used to treat acid-related stomach issues such as heartburn, gastritis, and ulcers. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, while Zinc Carnosine supports the healing of the stomach lining and provides mucosal protection. This combination helps in reducing symptoms of acidity and protects the stomach from further damage, making it ideal for patients with chronic gastrointestinal conditions.
