Aurobindo Pantoprazole

Does Pantoprazole manufactured by Aurobindo contain any gluten? ## It appears that both the 20 mg (NDC 65862-559) and 40 mg (NDC 65862-560) tablets contain the same inactive ingredients: - Calcium Stearate - Crospovidone - Ferric Oxide Yellow - Hydroxypropyl Cellulose - Hypromellose 2910 (3 Mpa.s) - Mannitol - Methacrylic Acid - Ethyl Acrylate Copolymer (1:1) Type a - Sodium Carbonate - Triethyl Citrate - Ammonia - Ferrosoferric Oxide - Ferric Oxide Red - Isopropyl Alcohol - Butyl Alcohol - Propylene Glycol - Shellac As such, they should not be problematic for people with gluten sensitivity unless there was cross-contamination during the manufacturing process.

Can you tell me what this pill is and what it's used for? ## Hello, Ray! How are you? A tablet with a lower case L on one side and the number 51 on the other is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma and they list it as containing 20mgs of Pantoprazole. The FDA classifies this medication as being a proton pump inhibitor, which reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and gastritis. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with?
