The short-term treatment (7 to 10 days) of severe inflammation and erosion of the esophagus due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, or stomach contents rising back into the esophagus) in adults. The injection is only used when the oral form of Pantoprazole cannot be taken. Pantoprazole is also used to treat certain conditions associated with Zollinger-Ellison
syndrome and similar conditions.
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. It reduces gastric acid secretion by blocking the final step of acid production by the stomach lining. This decreases the discomfort caused by the stomach contents rising back into the esophagus.
Do NOT use Pantoprazole if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in Pantoprazole
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Pantoprazole :
Some medical conditions may interact with Pantoprazole. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have liver problems
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Pantoprazole. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
Clarithromycin or voriconazole because side effects and toxic effects associated with Pantoprazole may be increased
Digoxin or methotrexate because the actions and side effects of these medicines may be increased
HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Pantoprazole
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Pantoprazole may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Pantoprazole :
Use Pantoprazole as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
Pantoprazole is usually administered as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you are using Pantoprazole at home, carefully follow the injection procedures taught to you by your health care provider.
If Pantoprazole contains particles or is discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged in any way, do not use it.
Pantoprazole should not be taken within 4 hours of imidazoles (eg, ketoconazole).
If you miss a dose of Pantoprazole , contact your doctor for further instruction.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Pantoprazole.
Important safety information:
Pantoprazole may cause dizziness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Pantoprazole. Using Pantoprazole alone, with certain other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or to perform other potentially dangerous
tasks.
Pantoprazole may affect the results of certain lab tests (eg, false positive urine screen for THC/marijuana). Make sure laboratory personnel and your doctors know you use Pantoprazole.
Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Dispose of properly after use. Ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to explain local regulations for selecting an appropriate container and properly disposing of the container when full.
LAB TESTS, such as liver function, may be performed to monitor your progress. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
Pantoprazole is not recommended for use in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness have not been confirmed.
PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Pantoprazole during pregnancy. It is unknown if Pantoprazole is excreted in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you are using Pantoprazole , check with your doctor or

How do you like this rap song I'm writing?
I'm still going to write two more verses to this. Let me know what you honestly think. Thanks
I'm going to be using this instrumental when I record:

Ted was misled as a child
He watched him Mom shoot up and Dad his walk out
Without anyone to talk about how he felt he bowed his head
Wishing for a day where he could fly instead of drown
He’d cry to his Mom to please put the pipe down
She’d reply life’s too stressful and this is my way out
He witnessed fist full of pills make their way into her mouth
One day he tried to take them away but she just hit em and shouted
You little prick! How dare you throw my last fix out
She packed Teds bags n threw him out of the house
Told him a sixteen old boy can find his own joy now
But it was cold in the south of Detroit, his pain numbed from the frost
He wasn’t even employed, he became homeless and lost
He turned thief to fill voids, showing chrome when crossed
Pursuing reefer and pills avoiding the home that he lost
He’d light his blunt up and sing his moms same song
(Chorus)
Ted began to deal anything he got his hands on
Started sniffing yayo so he could remain calm
Living selling Cane stones killing Able pained domes
Feeling hateful through the rain he drained alone
A stain was grown that then changed his love for life
He took drugs every night in spite with thugs despite
The flood raising its height, He started losing his light
Inside his mind he was moving the right way
But that was just addiction taking hold of his plays
His mind became molded like clay not to stay sober
Now instead of getting paid he was just a heavy smoker
All ways ready to dust a boulder,
Thinking about his mom, **** someone must have told her by now
That he was addicted to crack, but now smack was on his mind
So he went out and bought a needle, a lethal injection
Because people told him it’d make him feel peaceful
Being needful he filled it up with heroin
His vessels started narrowin then he heard the devil echoin
(Chorus)
How do you convince your parents to let you buy an inappropriate M game (Saints Row 3)?
Back in November my parents let me sign up for the Game fly free trial for my school's Thank's Giving break. The main thing I wanted from gamefly was Saints Row 3, since I'm in to the more free roam/do what you want games. I started playing and saw it was an incredibly fun game. I love how you can soup up your car and motorcycles. I loved that part and also the jets. It was fun to role play on since they had all the shops. So I beat its story mode and saw that it had a ton of stuff that 13 year olds shouldnt be involved in. Though I also Have 3 older brothers that talk a lot about stuff like whats in the game. My dad was going to get it for me for christmas but then my mom saw what its rated for and made him return it. She tends to be more religious since we are christians and didnt even let me get dead island because it says sexual themes on the back even though thats just cause some zombies are in bikinis. They arent too concerned with cursing in games like COD or BF3. But if this tells you anything my dad bought me read dead redemption for my birthday, knowing it has ACTUAL nudity where as saints row pixelates it. Its not like I would become some drug addict just for playing the game. The only stuff i like doing is souping up cars and skydiving. I even prefer acting like a cop in it. I'm 13 by the way. Please tell me how to convince my mom to let me get it.
To Dr. No, I do respect my parent's decisions, I just want to tweak their decisions a bit. Like I respect them and all its just my mom kinda still treats me like im 5. She doesn't even like me playing games with smoking, and Lord of the Rings, bilbo and gandalf smoke (possibly even drugs) and she loves those movies. Soooo yeah, she just treats me like I'm 5.
OH! And also thanks people for the good answers, and responding so fast too. So far 3 out of the 4 answers have been helpful......Dr. No

Thanks guys. The last two verses are going to be the most powerful ones. I've got something really great planned for this
I want to live in a different era so badly?
I'm a 14 year old girl, and I want to live in a different era so so badly.
I wish I could grow up as boy in Manhattan in about 1900 as a newsie, when school wasn't mandatory, you played stickball for fun, kids worked, and things were just simple and fun.
Now all I hear is about all the problems in politics and all the kids I know just sit on facebook and talk about what's annoying. Nobody's ever playing outside and schools so hard and I hate it.
Girls are so dramatic and their statuses are always these stupid songs about sex and drugs that don't even make sense. Everybody's the same and when they want to have fun, they just go to the mall and buy stuff and hang out in like parking lots or something. Nobody's innocent.
I feel like growing up in this difficult time, I missed my whole childhood. I played freedom and wiffle ball and stuff, but I always was worried about school and everything. People are so interested in having what's new, and then after that they want more and more and more.
I live in northeast Philadelphia, though I want to move so badly to an area right outside of center city where there's more walkability and people outside.
I'm just so bored with today. There's nothing to do. Everybody's locked inside all the time, worrying about things. Politics, drugs, pregnancies, crimes, whatever. It's really depressing.
This bothers me all the time. I hate living in the time I live in, I think about what I can do non stop, I'm literally obsessed.
People don't understand that people were happier when things were simple, they don't stop and realize that they're contributing to the fact that everybody is depressed and boring.
What can I do?
Why hasn't anyone thought to reverse Regan's Deregulation policy?
Since Regan deregulated the financial institutions, this country has turned completely upside down. It's obvious the rich are obscenely wealthy and the impoverished get kicked (literally) down at every turn. For example, Social Security received an 3.6% cost of living adjustment, not much and completely inadequate. But for those who are eligible for food stamps (I'm not), their food stamp allowance was decreased. That's just one example. Since deregulation, living in a structure (owning or renting) is not affordable. Utilities are not affordable. Transportation is not affordable. I live on $862.00 a month. That is after medicare and some sort of medical plan is taken out. Could you live on that? And believe it or not, I'm not eligible for any type of help from any government agency because I get too much to live on. I am a natural born citizen of the U.S. and have watched our country spiral downhill for 45 years. The people who do the hard work are coming out with nothing. How strong can we be when we encourage present, past and future generations to live on credit? I can't see that as a healthy way to run any country.
Listen, I'm dirt poor (since I am disabled), and, believe me, there is no hope.
Society believes that drugs, Algol and the like are a serious problem. Sorry, they are only a symptom of the problem.
The problem is; we have a society that just does not work. We expect our young adults to begin their journey in huge debt, from their education. Work hard, buy a house; more debt. Continue living in debt till the day they die.
Where is the hope there?
Listen, I don't have hope anymore, but, please, try do do something for the generations coming up. Put regulation back, at least to a point that is livable for the majority, not just for the minority (of the wealthiest). I gotta say; the citizens of this country are dying out here!
