Summary
This study looks at whether giving pantoprazole (a stomach acid reducer) for a short time after endoscopic treatment for varices can lower the risk of bleeding in people with cirrhosis. About 208 adults with cirrhosis and enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach will take part. The goal is to see if the drug helps prevent bleeding without causing serious side effects like infections.
