Brief Answer:
Pantoprasole can increase the absorption of Digoxin.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pantoprasole is a prescription medication that is used to reduce excess acid production.

This medication can influence in the absorption of other drugs such as digoxin.

It slightly increases the absorption of Digoxin.

The interaction is minor so you may not feel any symptoms, so you should not be worried.

In case that you feel symptoms of high levels of digoxin you should consult your doctor about an alternative dose.

The common symptoms are a fast heart rate, confusion, irregular pulse.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
