Hello

Thanks for your queries in HCM.
Pantoprazole has a lot of alternatives with similar efficacy and potency. Some of the relevant alternatives are Rabeprazole 20mg, Esomeprazole 40mg, Omeprazole 20mg etc. They have similar actions and dosage schedule.
These drugs have specific use and side effects too. So, any of these drugs should be used cautiously only under prescription of a registered medical practitioner.
For Walgreen stores availability, you would need to contact the store.
Hope this solves your queries.

Thank you.
