Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having esophageal erosion and taking the medicine pantaprazole 40 mg.
It suggests that you are having chronic irritation of the esophagus, Chronic irritation may lead to barrets esophagus and carcinoma.
Drugs alone can not cure your problem, you have to adopt preventive measures like
1.Avoid Spicy food
2.Drink lot of fluids
3.Avoid stress
4. Avoid hot food
5.Avoid NSAIDs
You can try rabiprazole, but you require your doctors opinion regarding the usage of the drug.
Thank You.
