PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

S-pantoprazole sodium is a chirally pure S-enantiomer of racemic pantoprazole.
S-pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that inhibits the final stage of the secretion of hydrochloric acid by forming covalent bonds with two parts of the enzyme (H + / K + -ATPase) of parietal cells of the secretory surface of the stomach. This effect is dose-dependent and leads to inhibition of both basal and stimulated secretion, regardless of the nature of the stimulus. Inhibition of (H + / K + -ATPase) leads to a prolonged antisecretory effect, the duration of which is more than 24 hours.
PHARMACOKINETICS

The tablets of S-pantoprazole are coated with an enteric-coated membrane, so that the release of the active substance begins after the drug has left the stomach.
The absorption of S-pantoprazole does not depend on the combined use with antacids. C max - 1.85 В± 0.66 Ојg / ml reaches its value after 2.96 В± 0.736 hours. Taking the drug with food can slow its absorption; while the C max and AUC remain unchanged. Thus, the drug can be taken regardless of food intake. Metabolised in the liver. T1/2 - 2.341 В± 0.908 h.

In conditions accompanied by hypersecretion of gastric juice, the course of treatment can be quite long, it depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's body and is established by the attending physician depending on the rate of scarring of erosive and ulcerative defects and reducing the basal secretion of hydrochloric acid to the limits of physiological norm. Based on clinical experience, the recommended initial dose of the drug is 20 mg 2 times a day.
In Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the level of basal secretion of hydrochloric acid should be below 10 meq / h for patients without surgical treatment, this may require a dose of up to 120 mg per day and 5 meq / h in patients after surgical treatment.
