Pantoprazole, a drug for the treatment of acid-induced gastrointestinal diseases, is the most important product being produced in Oranienburg. The medication is prescribed by doctors e.g. when patients suffer from reflux disease, i.e. a condition caused by the reflux reverse flow of stomach acid into the esophagus. There the acid attacks the mucous membrane and can cause not only redness and inflammation, but also cicatrization and ulcers.

All sales partners included, ALTANA achieved worldwide market sales of about €2.5 billion in 2004. ALTANA s own sales of Pantoprazole amounted to about €1.2 billion.
