PROTONIX  (PANTOPRAZOLE SODIUM):  Pantoprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. This medication relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. It helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Pantoprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2000-02-02

 1  Gerd Belching, stomach pain, Anxiety with racing thoughts I feel like it helped with the reflux at first but then it stopped after the 2nd month. I have had the most horrible anxiety. I am a mom and a wife and literally feel like my life has been stolen from me. I started to wonder if I needed medication for anxiety. After lots of praying, I decided to look online for protonix side effects and low and behold, there are lots of ppl going through the same things. Today is my second day off the med and am still having side effects with a headache. I think it will take a few days to feel better. I will be searching for something natural for Gerd. I miss the way I was before taking this med. i miss my old self and cannot wait to get that back!! F 33 3 months

Patient History
 1  GERD plus Hernia After 2 years on Protonix I really believe my body is falling apart. I'm still having burning and pain in my chest with the slightest pinch of anything spicy. Now I'm having bad low back pain due to it sucking the calcium out of my body. The worse thing now is it's messed up my stomach, which that had never bothered me. Just a few bites of any kind of food I will feel so bloated and uncomfortable for hours !! All this new stuff happening to me. Before all I really had was a little burning in my stomach and throat ... Please for anyone reading this If at all possible NEVER get on Protonix , try everything natural first !! Even change the way you eat it's far better to change now, than suffer long term affects of this Body Killing Drug !! I am scared to death to try to go off after all this time . F 55 2 years

 4  Acid reflux I didn't experience any side effects aside from getting a little stress but that's most likely work related, just remember that after a while your stomach will produce resistance so you'll have to switch to another drug of probably the same family.my doctor said the key to reducing side effects of any drugs is regular exercise and a healthy diet. In cases like mine taking it is safer than not taking it at all. M 25 2 months

 1  gerd Got chronic gastritis but Dr left me on it and it got worse,lost appetite,weight,stayed nauseated,and more symptoms kept coming. I am stopping this med against Dr wishes but like some one else said the drs.are in cahoots with the drug companys and don't care how we feel or what the med is doing to us,side effects worse than what you are taking them for.Ill just go natural with what God put on this earth to heal us.
