Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It irreversibly blocks the H+/K+-ATPase (proton pump) in stomach parietal cells, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion and relieving acid-related symptoms while allowing ulcers to heal.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
