Herbal Alternatives to Pantoprazole/Omeprazole – Gas And Acidity

ABSTRACT

The problems related to the stomach are getting more and more common. The main credit goes to the food we eat. One of the most common problems faced by today’s population is acidity and gas. Haveyou ever thought about what causes acidity or gas? Have you ever noticed which food article has irritated your stomach or intestine? Have you ever thought to totally avoid intake of things causing trouble to your digestion? The main problem with human beings is that they respond when the damage is done but will not take care of things before. In this article we will discuss drugs like Pantoprazole/Omeprazole which are being prescribed in various digestive issues and what are the best alternatives to these medications in Ayurveda.

INTRODUCTION

The pantoprazole/Omeprazole is two proton pump inhibitors which are given in various types of digestive conditions. Mostly these two drugs help in subsiding the acidity problems, acid reflux problem and also help in infection based acidity like in case of helicobacter pylori or H.pylori infections. They are also given in duodenal and stomach ulcers as well. The drugs are given to both children and adults. Pantoprazole and omeprazole tablets come with a delayed release capsule, tablet and suspension. They even come in the form of IV injections. These drugs are generally prescribed as a short term treatment.

Pantoprazole

Key Highlights

  • Pantoprazole and omeprazole are proton pump inhibitors

Pantoprazole

  • It is used to treat erosive esophagitis associated with GERD
  • Maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis.
  • It is also given in pathological hypersecretory conditions including zollinger ellison syndrome.
  • Marketed in 2000 under brand name protonix

Omeprazole

  • It is given in duodenal ulcer
  • Choice of drug in H.pylori
  • Given in Gastric ulcer and also for GERD
  • It is prescribed to paediatrics patients as well.
  • Marketed in 1989 under brand name prilosec

Purpose of prescribing a proton pump inhibitor?

  • The proton pump inhibitors, as mentioned before, are generally prescribed to decrease the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
  • They help in reducing acid reflux. Acid reflux is something that happens due to the upward movement of food or liquid.
  • The use of proton pump inhibitors is also done in ulcers. In Stomach ulcers these drugs are generally prescribed.
  • In infections like helicobacter pylori use of PPIs is common.

The main purpose in every situation is to reduce the production of acid in the stomach.

Now moving further let’s understand the working of Proton pump inhibitors

How do proton pump inhibitors work

  • So, let’s understand this working in the most simplest way. Our stomach normally produces acid to help the digestion of food  and also help in killing germs or bacteria. This acid is corrosive in nature and to counter this corrosive property of stomach acid, there is the barrier of mucous in the stomach that helps in protecting the stomach from getting worn away.
  • In certain people this barrier breaks down thus the situation allows the acid to damage the stomach or erode it or result in the formation of ulcers. In some other cases there might be some problem with the sphincter, the sphincter is like a cap placed at the top of the stomach. This helps in keeping the stomach tightly closed and the content of the stomach inside. But when the sphincter muscles gets weak then it is not able to close properly and this allows acid to to reflux back. This refluxed back acid can damage the lining of the oesophagus thus causing situations like heartburn and inflammation of gullet.   
  • As mentioned before PPIs help in reducing the acid production in the stomach thus preventing ulcers and esophageal irritation.  The proton pump inhibitors are called proton pump inhibitors because they work by blocking or inhibiting the chemical system called the hydrogen potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system or simply called proton pump. The cells in the stomach lining have this chemical system. These cells in the stomach lining are responsible for producing acid.

Side effects/Adverse effects of Pantoprazole/Omeprazole

Side effects of Pantoprazole/Omeprazole are divided into two parts based on their short term and long term use.

Firstly, we will start with side effects or Adverse effects of short term use of Pantoprazole/Omeprazole.

  1. Short term use of Pantoprazole/Omeprazole or proton pump inhibitors result in headaches followed by dizziness.
  2. A person can experience some gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, abdominal pain followed by flatulence, constipation and diarrhoea. Symptoms on skin  include the appearance of rashes.
  3. The Gastrointestinal symptoms may also induce severe lack of appetite and weight loss at last.

Next, coming on to the side effects due to long term use of Pantoprazole/Omeprazole

  1. The long term use of Pantoprazole/Omeprazole results in the increased risk of bone fracture. This only happens if a person is taking multiple doses of Pantoprazole/Omeprazole per day for a duration of more than a year.
  2. There are possible chances of vitamin B12 deficiency which in turn leads to serious nerve damage and also results in the deterioration of brain functions.
  3. There is chronic inflammation of the stomach’s lining.
  4. There is a significant lack of magnesium. This is most common in people taking pantoprazole.
  5. When hospitalised and treated with pantoprazole, patients can suffer from clostridium difficile bacteria infection.
  6. Though the allergic reactions are rare, pantoprazole can cause allergic responses in the body.
  7. Moreover PPIs can cause cutaneous lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus.

Even beside the drastic effects of Pantoprazole/Omeprazole, people use them blindly and later on their body is prone to too many conditions. You might be thinking, then what to do, what to have if not Pantoprazole/Omeprazole?

The answer to this question is simple and its Ayurveda.

  • Ayurveda is a science that describes how one should live a healthy life and if someone faces any difficulty then how it can be solved. That’s the beauty of Ayurveda. This science does not believe in subsiding the or suppressing the symptoms but it believes in the  elimination of disease from the body. Yes, that sounds difficult and indeed it is difficult because it requires efforts from both sides, that is from the physician’s side of the physician as well as from the side of the patient as well. These efforts include following all the dietary changes, managing a proper lifestyle and having herbal formulations, which will correct the disbalance going on inside your body.
  • Many of the readers might know and many of the readers might not know that there are three energies of the body that are responsible for maintaining the whole body system. These three energies are potential energy or kapha dosha, thermal energy that is pitta dosha and kinetic energy which is vata dosha. Any imbalance in any of these three energies will definitely cause some symptoms in the body. Excessive production of acid in the stomach is one of such symptoms and is due to imbalance in the thermal energy of the body.
