Hi, I went through your question and wanted to reassure you that there is no link between copper T and gastritis. What you have got is just co-incidental and probably the gastric trouble is worsening as you are not treated for it properly. For your gastritis to settle, kindly take T. pantoprazole 40mg once daily in the morning in empty stomach, atleast half an hour before food. Take it for 2 weeks and make sure you take the tabs for complete 2 weeks even if your gasric trouble gets better. This is because, within few days of tablet, your stomach ulcer superficial layer will get healed and you will be free of trouble but the deeper parts wont be healed and you will get symptoms back after some days. So please take the tabs for 2 weeks. After this, If you again get symptoms within 5-7 days of completing the course of medication, then the gastric trouble is most likely to be due to an infection (Called H.Pylori) and you will need antibiotics. So then you need to meet a doctor. Meanwhile you make sure you do not skip meals and eat time to time. Best Wishes Dr. Jeffrey
