Pantoprazole Intravenous and Promethazine Injection, Intravenous

• Generic Name: pantoprazole
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Protonix, Protonix IV

Pantoprazole injection is used to treat certain conditions in which there is too much acid in the stomach. It is used for short-term treatment (7 to 10 days) of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with a history of erosive esophagitis. GERD is a condition in which the acid in the stomach washes back up into the esophagus. Pantoprazole may also be used to treat Zollinger-Ellison syndrome or other conditions (eg, cancer) in which the stomach produces too much acid.

Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

Pantoprazole is given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor.

• Generic Name: promethazine
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Phenergan, Phenadoz, Promethegan

Promethazine injection is used to relieve or prevent some types of allergy or allergic reactions. It works by preventing the effects of a substance called histamine, which is produced by the body. Histamine can cause itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. It can sometimes close up the bronchial tubes (air passages of the lungs) and make breathing difficult.

Promethazine is also used to prevent and control motion sickness, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. In addition, it may be used to help people go to sleep and control their pain or anxiety before or after surgery or other procedures.

Promethazine may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Promethazine is only available with your doctor's prescription.
