PANRAX 40 IV About

Pantoprazole 40 mg for injection is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for short-term treatment of certain stomach and intestinal conditions caused by excessive acid production. The "DW" likely refers to Dextrose 5% in Water solution, which is used as a compatible solution to dilute the medication for intravenous (IV) infusion
