Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Pantoprazole, Citanew, Ganaton And Acinic Advisable For Hiatal Hernia And Pangastritis?
Hi,I have recently been diagnosed with hiatal hernia and pangastritis. Dr advised me pantrapazole , ganaton , acinic and citanew. I have been taking pantrapazole on different intervals of 8 to 10 days but it doesn t work. I am just suffering from indigestion whatever I eat it takes time to digest and I don t enjoy food and I don t feel hungry. I am gradually losing weight. Kindly confirm the medicines I am taking are right coz I heard that citanew also produces more acid.
Citanew (Escitalopram ) can cause heartburn,gastro-esophageal reflux. Acinic (Nicotinic Acid) can also cause Gastric irritation. Hence these two drugs are not advisable in Pangastrtis.
Consult your doctor for substitutes. Pantoprazole -a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) and Ganaton (Itopride)-a prokinetic drug are advisable in hiatal hernias because of the propensity of affected individuals to have Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
