Razopral is contraindicated in people with hypersensitivity to Pantoprazol or any other ingredient of the drug.

Long-term use of Razopral in patients with liver failure requires monitoring of liver enzymes. If liver enzymes are elevated, the drug should be discontinued. Exclude the possibility of malignancy before initiating pantoprazole therapy for gastric ulcer. When treating acid-reducing with Razopral, the stomach becomes less acidic, causing the number of gastrointestinal bacteria to increase, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal infections, mainly caused by Salmonella and Campylobacter. Prolonged treatment with Razopral may cause decreased absorption of vitamin B12 by reducing gastric acid. Therefore, appropriate monitoring and supplementation is required.
