    Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease and erosive esophagitis. It works by inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme in gastric parietal cells, suppressing gastric acid secretion. Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Nursing responsibilities involve assessing for signs of gastrointestinal issues and monitoring liver enzymes during treatment, providing patient education on reporting severe side effects and drug interactions, and evaluating therapeutic outcomes such as relief from epigastric symptoms.
