Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

I would advise two weeks of treatment.
You need to take three drugs in the morning and 3 in the evening.
Of the three, take pantoprazole before food and the other two after food.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

I hav missed the dose for today.Can I start from the next day.Moreover on Fifth day of my drug I had feeling of fainting and discomforts also problem in proper breathing so I was worried as there is a moderate interaction of this drug particularly the clarithromycin with amlodipine.

Pl advice me for these symptoms..I have got my ECHO TEST done in Oct 2013 and it was normal..

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
These symptoms are not related to gastritis.
Some of these symptoms may occur when you have reflux.
Since ECG and Echo are normal, there is no need to worry that these may be due to heart issues.

Regards,
Dr.R.K.
