Q: Hello doctor, I was prescribed a treatment based on omeprazole for my stomach problems, but to many acquaintances with the same problem has been prescribed pantoprazole. What's the difference? Thanks for your reply and congratulations for the new phone book interesting. Anna
A: Dear Madam, in its request does not specify what his "stomach problem". In fact, the choice of prescription of an active substance, with respect to another, has many variables, but generally colesterol dictated by the proper framing of the patient, compared to the pathology to be treated and the general clinical condition. In the case of molecules belonging to the same class, as for omeprazole and pantoprazole (both proton pump inhibitors, PPIs) the choice can be conditioned, at times, by subjective factors for each individual patient, such as, for example, in the case allergies or side effects that may occur with a substance and not with another.
Compared to his question, I can tell, in general lines, that from a pharmacological point of view, the latest published colesterol meta-analyzes do not show large differences in the efficacy of the two substances in the treatment of the same disorder gastric, be it gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer disease gastroesophageal reflux, or Zollinger Ellison, though, in daily clinical practice is controversial declaration of doctors, some of whom they see a greater therapeutic response with pantoprazole compared to omeprazole. I emphasize, that the differences in effectiveness are, however, always related to the disease to be treated and, beyond the scientific evidence and statistics, some patients who do not respond or respond poorly to a pump inhibitor may respond to PPI alternative, maybe used at different doses. The choice must therefore be based on individual response. Cordiality.
