  • Participants with a history of complications during prior procedural sedation (3) History or presence of upper gastrointestinal anatomic or motor disorders (4) Family history of malignant hyperthermia (5) Known hypersensitivity to any Proton Pump Inhibitor, including pantoprazole or to any substituted benzimidazole or to any of the excipients.
  • (6) Any disorder requiring chronic (daily) use of warfarin, heparin, other anticoagulants, methotrexate, atazanavir or nelfinavir, clopidogrel, or potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP2C19 (eg, phenytoin, sulfamethoxazole, valproic acid, carbamazepine, and griseofulvin).
