1. What INIZOL is and what it is used for
INIZOL contains the active substance pantoprazole. INIZOL is a “selective proton pump inhibitor”, a medicine that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is used for the treatment of acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine.
INIZOL is used for the treatment of adults and adolescents from the age of 12 years onwards, for:
- Symptoms (e.g. heartburn, acid regurgitation, pain on swallowing) associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease caused by acid reflux from the stomach.
- Long-term treatment of reflux esophagitis (inflammation of the oesophagus accompanied by acid regurgitation from the stomach) and prevention of its recurrence. INIZOL is used in adults for:
- Prevention of duodenal and gastric ulcers caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, for example, ibuprofen) in patients at risk who require continuous treatment with NSAIDs.
2. What you should know before taking INIZOL
Do not take INIZOL
- if you are allergic to pantoprazole or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- if you are allergic to medicines containing other proton pump inhibitors. Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking INIZOL
- If you have severe liver problems. Inform your doctor if you have previously had liver problems. Your doctor may arrange for more frequent monitoring of your liver enzymes, especially if you are taking INIZOL for long-term treatment. If your liver enzymes increase, treatment should be stopped.
- If you need to take painkillers called NSAIDs continuously and are taking INIZOL because you are at increased risk of developing stomach and intestinal complications. Any increased risk will be assessed based on your personal risk factors such as age (65 years and older), history of gastric or duodenal ulcers, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
- If you have low body reserves or risk factors for low vitamin B12 and are undergoing long-term treatment with pantoprazole. As with all agents that reduce acidity, pantoprazole may lead to reduced absorption of vitamin B12.
- If you are taking a medicine containing atazanavir (for the treatment of HIV infection) at the same time as pantoprazole, please consult your doctor for specific advice.
- Taking a proton pump inhibitor such as pantoprazole, particularly for more than one year, may slightly increase your risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or if you are taking corticosteroids (which may increase the risk of osteoporosis).
- If you take INIZOL for more than three months, your blood magnesium levels may decrease. Symptoms of low magnesium levels in the blood may include fatigue, involuntary muscle contractions, disorientation, seizures, dizziness, and increased heart rate. If you experience any of these symptoms, inform your doctor immediately. Low magnesium levels can also lead to reduced levels of potassium or calcium in the blood. Your doctor may decide to perform regular blood tests to monitor your magnesium levels.
- If you have had skin reactions after treatment with a medicine similar to INIZOL that reduces stomach acidity.
- If you develop a skin rash, especially in sun-exposed areas, inform your doctor as soon as possible, as it may be necessary to stop treatment with INIZOL. Remember also to mention any other adverse effects such as joint pain.
- you need to undergo a specific blood test (Chromogranin A) Inform your doctor immediately, before or after taking this medicine, if you notice any of the following symptoms, which could be signs of a more serious condition:
- unintentional weight loss
- vomiting, particularly if recurrent
- presence of blood in vomit; this may appear like coffee grounds in the vomit
- if you notice blood in your stools; stools may appear black or tarry
- difficulty swallowing or pain when swallowing
- if you appear pale and feel weak (anemia)
- chest pain
- stomach ache
- severe and/or persistent diarrhea, as this medicine has been associated with a slight increase in infectious diarrhea episodes. Your doctor may decide that you need certain tests to rule out malignant disease, since pantoprazole also relieves symptoms of cancer and may delay diagnosis. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, further investigations should be considered. If you take INIZOL for long-term treatment (over 1 year), your doctor will likely schedule regular check-ups. You must report any new or unusual symptoms or circumstances whenever you see your doctor. Children and adolescents INIZOL is not recommended in children, as its efficacy has not been established in patients under 12 years of age. Other medicines and INIZOL Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including those without a prescription. INIZOL may affect the effectiveness of other medicines. Inform your doctor if you are taking:
- Medicines such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and posaconazole (used to treat fungal infections) or erlotinib (used for certain types of cancer), as INIZOL may prevent these and other medicines from working properly.
- Warfarin and fenprocoumon, which affect blood clotting. You may need additional monitoring.
- Medicines used to treat HIV such as atazanavir.
- Methotrexate (used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and psoriasis) – if you are taking methotrexate, your doctor may temporarily discontinue INIZOL treatment, as pantoprazole may increase methotrexate levels in the blood.
- Fluvoxamine (used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders) – if you are taking fluvoxamine, your doctor may reduce the dose.
- Rifampicin (used to treat infections)
- St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) (used to treat mild depression) Pregnancy and breastfeeding There are insufficient data on the use of pantoprazole in pregnant women. Excretion into human milk has been reported. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, suspect you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. You should use this medicine only if your doctor considers the benefit to you greater than the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Driving and using machines INIZOL has no effect or a negligible effect on the ability to drive or use machinery. However, if you experience adverse effects such as dizziness or visual disturbances, do not drive or operate machinery.
