Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Even though you have taken the tablet within 3 hrs frame it won’t make much of a difference, just take the next dosage 3 to 4 hrs later than the actual time.

You may develop little acidity, otherwise you will be fine. Drink lots of fluids, eat food regularly and take the pantoprazole prescribed to you before food. There won’t be any other side effects, be assured about that.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for follow up queries.

Wish you good health and speedy recovery.

Regards
