Pantoprazole, sold under the brand name Protonix, among others, is a

injection into a vein.[5]

Common side effects include headaches, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and

low magnesium, and vitamin B12 deficiency.[5] Use in pregnancy appears to be safe.[5] Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that decreases gastric acid secretion.[5] It works by inactivating (H+/K+)-ATPase function in the stomach.[9][5]

Study of pantoprazole began in 1985, and it came into medical use in Germany in 1994.

generic medication.[5][11] In 2021, it was the nineteenth most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 27 million prescriptions.[12][13]

Medical uses

Pantoprazole is used for short-term treatment of erosion and ulceration of the esophagus for adults and children five years of age and older caused by

NSAIDs.[7]

For improved efficacy of pantoprazole, the oral tablet formulation is taken half an hour prior to ingestion of food.[6] In the hospital, intravenous administration is indicated when patients are unable to take the medication by mouth.[16]

Children

Pantoprazole is only indicated for the short-term treatment of

erosive esophagitis in children ages seven and older; and the safety and effectiveness of pantoprazole have only been established in the treatment of erosive esophagitis in children.[14]

Elderly

The incidence of adverse effects occurring in people aged 65 years and older was similar to that in people aged 65 years and less.[14]

Pregnancy

In reproductive studies using doses largely greater than the recommended doses performed on rats and rabbits, there was no evident harm on the development of the baby.[14][2]

Breast feeding

Pantoprazole has been found to pass through the breast milk. Additionally, in rodent cancer studies, pantoprazole has been shown to potentially cause tumor growth. The clinical relevance of the finding is unknown, but risks and benefits are recommended for consideration in determining the use of therapy for the mother and child.[14][2]

Adverse effects

  • Infection: Stomach acid plays a role in killing ingested bacteria. Use of pantoprazole may increase the chance of developing infections such as pneumonia, particularly in hospitalized patients.[17]

Common

Rare

Long-term use

  • Osteoporosis and bone fracture have been observed in people on high-dose and/or long-term (over one year) prescription proton pump inhibitors.[20]
  • Hypomagnesia has been observed in people on medications like pantoprazole when taken for longer periods of time (generally one year or more, although cases have been reported with regimens as short as three months).[21]
  • Deficiencies such as vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, and calcium deficiency may be seen with long term use.[6] Vitamin B12 deficiency is due to the change in the acidic environment within the stomach with the use of pantoprazole which prevents peptidases from being activated.[22] This prevents the cleaving of R-factor from vitamin B12 and prevents its absorption.[22]
  • Rebound hypergastrinemia may be seen when stopping the medication after long term use.[23][22]

Discontinuation

In people taking PPIs for longer than six months, a dose taper should be considered prior to discontinuation. For those on a moderate to high dose, this can be done by 50 percent every week until on the lowest dose. After a week it can then be stopped.[24]

Interactions

Due to its effect of reducing stomach acidity, use of pantoprazole can affect absorption of drugs that are pH-sensitive, such as

mycophenolate mofetil.[14][6] Additional medications that are affected include bisphosphonate derivatives, fluconazole, clopidogrel, and methotrexate.[6]

Pharmacology

Wyeth pantoprazole 20 mg

The mechanism of action of pantoprazole is to inhibit the final step in gastric acid production.[14] In the gastric parietal cell of the stomach, pantoprazole covalently binds to the H+/K+ ATP pump to inhibit gastric acid and basal acid secretion.[14] The covalent binding prevents acid secretion for up to 24 hours and longer.[14]

Pantoprazole is metabolized in the liver by the

proton pumps) to suppress the secretion of acid. Due to irreversible binding of the pumps, new pumps have to be made before acid production can be resumed.[9] The drug's plasma half-life is about two hours.[26] After administration, the time for the drug to reach peak plasma concentrations is 2 to 3 hours.[16] The percentage of the drug that is protein bound is 98%.[16]

In veterinary medicine, pantoprazole appears to be safe to use in several large animal species.[27] The pharmacokinetics of pantoprazole have been explored in several veterinary species, including calves, alpacas and foals with half lives reported as 2.81, 0.47, and 1.43 hours, respectively.[28][29][30] Pantoprazole appears to be eliminated more quickly in goats when compared to calves, with goats having an elimination half-life of less than one hour.[31]

History

Pantoprazole was discovered by scientists at Byk Gulden, a subsidiary of Altana; the drug discovery program started in 1980, producing pantoprazole in 1985. The compound was actually created by chemists working to scale up a different chemical that had been chosen as a development candidate.[32]: 117, 129  Byk Gulden partnered with Smith Kline & French in 1984.[32]: 124  The compound's development names were BY1029 and SK&F96022.[32]: 123  By 1986 the companies had created the sodium salt, pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate, and decided to develop it as it was more soluble and stable, and was more compatible with other ingredients used in the formulation.[32]: 130  It was first marketed in Germany in 1994.[32]: 130  Wyeth licensed the US patent from Altana,[33] and obtained marketing approval from the US FDA in 2000 under the trade name Protonix.[34][35]

In 2004, worldwide sales of the drug were $3.65 billion, about half of which were in the US.[33]

In 2007, Altana's drug business was acquired by Nycomed.[36] Nycomed was in turn acquired by Takeda in 2011[37] and Wyeth was acquired by Pfizer in 2009.[38]

The patent protecting the drug was set to expire in 2010, but

authorized generic in 2008.[36] Pfizer and Takeda's patent exclusivity expired in 2010, and an administrative exclusivity they had for pediatric use expired in January 2011, and full generic competition began.[41] The litigation between Teva and Pfizer/Takeda was settled in 2013, with Teva paying the patent holders $2.15 billion in damages for its early launch.[42]

Society and culture

As of 2017[update], the drug was marketed under many brands worldwide, including as a combination drug with domperidone, a combination with itopride, in combination with both clarithromycin and amoxicillin, in combination with levosulpiride, and in combination with naproxen.[1]

Other animals

Pantoprazole has been demonstrated to increase the 3rd compartment pH in

alpacas.[43] It has been shown to be generally safe to use in cattle, sheep and goats.[44] The subcutaneous bioavailability is greater than 100% in calves. [45] In calves intravenous and subcutaneous administration has been shown to significantly elevate abomasal pH.[45]
