Administration in hepatic impairment
Dosage of pantoprazole may need to be reduced in severe hepatic
impairment, or doses given only on alternate days. A maximum dose of 20
mg daily orally or intravenously, or 40 mg orally on alternate days, has
been suggested. Doses above 40 mg daily have not been studied in
patients with hepatic impairment. Liver enzymes should be monitored
during therapy, and pantoprazole should be stopped if elevations occur
