Answered by Dr. Diptanshu Das (3 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Taking it for a few days usually suffices

Detailed Answer:
The answer to this question depends upon the severity of your symptoms. Usually taking Pan D for a few days is sufficient. But if you have gastritis you might need to take it for as long as 6 weeks.

Try taking for 4-7 days and if you have no problems thereafter, you may discontinue taking it.

Hope that helped.
