Infants aged 1 through 11 months were stratified by weight and randomly assigned in a 1:1 fashion to receive pantoprazole approximately 0.6mg/kg (low dose) or 1.2 mg/kg (high dose) (Table3-1).0 suggest that the 1.2-mg/kg dose of pantoprazole for infants aged less than 1 year provides sufficient drug concentrations to significantly and reliably increase gastric pH.
