Acidity is so bad these days, burning all night. Doc had given pantocid earlier but now im pregnant so not sure if i can continue. Will confirm with gynac, but anyone took it during pregnancy?
Pantocid is basically pantoprazole which is a PPI for acid reflux. My husband says it's generally considered safe in pregnancy, but it is strictly a prescription drug. Always ask your doctor before taking it rather than self-medicating.
Heartburn is so annoying, but since I had to balance thyroid pills and acidity meds, my doctor told me to never take any acidity tablets like Pantocid without a prescription. Please do regular doctor follow-ups and let them decide what's safest for you.
I actually researched this extensively because of my bad reflux. My doctor told me Pantocid is a category B drug, which is generally safe for severe acidity when simple antacids don't work. However, she warned me never to take it daily without medical supervision.
I had severe acidity because of my PCOS history and the hormone supplements I was taking. My doctor told me Pantocid is safe when needed, but you must get it prescribed first. Better to try small frequent meals first, and don't self-medicate.
Oh sweetheart, I totally understand how miserable that burning throat feeling can make you! Acidity during pregnancy is pure torture, but please consult your sweet gynac before taking Pantocid. Take care of your precious self, try a little cold milk for instant comfort!
