Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic
The mentioned symptoms could be due to either pantoprazole or ganaton or most likely due to both. Reconsult your physician, to review the status of gastritis, for any reduction of dose or change of drug.

Welcome to healthcaremagic forum.you should not give up treatment.continue it for 4-6weeks and have a endoscopy again.this time take gastric tissue for tissue diagnosis and test for helicobacter pylori.

Yes,you should continue drugs.you may add domperidone,tiemonium methyl sulfate thrice daily.gastrititis also occur in some unusal condition like vit b12 deficiency(pernicious anaemia),and others.after having full course,hope that you will be completely cured,but be on medication for 4-6 weeks more.If still having problem,consult adoctor,do a ultrasonography and serum gastrin level.
