Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Pantoprazole Sodium for Injection is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) indicated in adults for the following: • Short-term treatment (7 to 10 days) of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) associated with a history of erosive esophagitis (EE).
( 1.1 ) • Pathological hypersecretion conditions, including Zollinger-Ellison (ZE) syndrome.
( 1.2 ) 1.1 Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Associated with a History of Erosive Esophagitis Pantoprazole Sodium for Injection is indicated for short-term treatment (7 to 10 days) of adult patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and a history of erosive esophagitis (EE).
Safety and efficacy of Pantoprazole Sodium for Injection as a treatment of patients with GERD and a history of EE for more than 10 days have not been demonstrated.
1.2 Pathological Hypersecretion Including Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome Pantoprazole Sodium for Injection is indicated for the treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions including Zollinger-Ellison (ZE) Syndrome in adults.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
The safety of Pantoprazole Sodium for Injection has been established from adequate and well-controlled studies of another intravenous pantoprazole sodium product [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Below is a display of the adverse reactions of pantoprazole sodium in these adequate and well-controlled studies.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Safety in nine randomized comparative US clinical trials in patients with GERD included 1,473 patients on oral pantoprazole (20 mg or 40 mg), 299 patients on an H 2 -receptor antagonist, 46 patients on another PPI, and 82 patients on placebo.
The most frequently occurring adverse reactions are listed in Table 1.
The number of patients treated in comparative studies with intravenous pantoprazole sodium is limited; however, the adverse reactions seen were similar to those seen in the oral studies.
Thrombophlebitis was the only new adverse reaction identified with intravenous pantoprazole sodium.
T able 1: Adverse Reactions Reported in Clinical Trials of Adult Patients with GERD at a Frequency of >2% O ral Pantoprazole Sodium ( n=1473) % C o m parators ( n=345) % P lacebo ( n=82) % Headache 12.2 12.8 8.5 Diarrhea 8.8 9.6 4.9 Nausea 7 5.2 9.8 Abdominal pain 6.2 4.1 6.1 Vomiting 4.3 3.5 2.4 Flatulence 3.9 2.9 3.7 Dizziness 3 2.9 1.2 Arthralgia 2.8 1.4 1.2 Additional adverse reactions that were reported for oral pantoprazole sodium in US clinical trials with a frequency of 2% or less are listed below by body system: Body as a Whole: allergic reaction, fever, photosensitivity reaction, facial edema, thrombophlebitis (intravenous only) Gastrointestinal: constipation, dry mouth, hepatitis Hematologic: leukopenia (reported in ex-US clinical trials only), thrombocytopenia Me tabolic/Nutritional: elevated CPK (creatine phosphokinase), generalized edema, elevated triglycerides, liver function tests abnormal M usculoskeletal: myalgia N e rvous: depression, vertigo Skin and Appendages: urticaria, rash, pruritus Special Senses: blurred vision Z ollinger-Ellison Syndrome In clinical studies of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, adverse reactions reported in 35 patients administered oral pantoprazole doses of 80 mg to 240 mg per day for up to 2 years were similar to those reported in adult patients with GERD.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of other pantoprazole sodium products.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
These adverse reactions are listed below by body system: General Disorders and Administration Conditions: asthenia, fatigue, malaise I mmune System Disorders: anaphylaxis (including anaphylactic shock), systemic lupus erythematosus I nvestigations: weight changes Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: severe dermatologic reactions (some fatal), including erythema multiforme, SJS/TEN, DRESS, AGEP [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] , and angioedema (Quincke's edema) and cutaneous lupus erythematosus Musculoskeletal Disorders: rhabdomyolysis, bone fracture Renal and Genitourinary Disorders: interstitial nephritis, erectile dysfunction Hepatobiliary Disorders: hepatocellular damage leading to jaundice and hepatic failure Psychiatric Disorder: hallucinations, confusion, insomnia, somnolence Metabolism and Nutritional Disorders: hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] , hyponatremia Infections and Infestations: Clostridium difficile- associated diarrhea Hematologic: pancytopenia, agranulocytosis N e rvous: ageusia, dysgeusia Gastrointestinal Disorders: fundic gland polyps
