PANTOPRAZOLE SODIUM  (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). The injection form of this drug is used for a short time when you cannot take the medication by mouth. When possible, your doctor should switch you to the form that is taken by mouth.   FDA Approval Date: 2011-01-20 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Peoric ulcers Nausea, bloating, gas, thudding rapid heartbeat, anxiety, fatigue I took this drug originally for 6 weeks and had nausea, bloating, gas and fatigue. I thought it was the ulcers. I stopped taking it after 6 weeks. I saw the gastroenterologist and he told me to keep taking it to make sure the ulcers had healed. This time I had the thudding rapid heartbeat and anxiety. Stopped for a couple of days in case the new symptoms were due to the drug. Decided to give it another go due to rebound indigestion. Again the rapid heartbeat and anxiety. I've been off it now and the symptoms are still there but lessening a little each day. The cure is worse than the disease in my case. I would caution anyone taking pantaprozole, especially for an extended period. F 64 6 weeks

 1  Mild gastritis Was able to tolerate for about 14 days but during that time I was having vivid nightmares,muscle spasms,heart palpitations,panic attacks and depression but still took it because I could eat and then about day 12 woke up nauseated lasted all day did not go away here I am day 17 and can't take the side effects anymore will be stopping tomorrow and hoping for the best with antacids...Tried 2 other ppi before this and didn't last more than a day on them. I don't think they are for me. Really wish my Dr. had offered me some advice on things such as lifestyle and diet changes I could have done instead of telling me I need these to get better. They have made my symptoms worse....Before pantoprazole I had shooting pains when eating fried fatty foods had an endoscopy, they found mild non bacterial gastritis. After just 2 weeks of ppi have the most painful burn in upper belly and chest but no shooting pains every night and every morningwhen lying down..I was better before taking these and I hope this is just temporary because these pills have made my life unbearable.

 4  Acid reflux The only thing I have noticed is that I am extremely hungry. I'm kinda ok with that right now considering I've only been eating once a day for a very long time. I see some people are saying diarrhea but I wonder if their doctor put them on a certain diet. I can't have any fried foods, no Spivey food, no red sauces. F 35 2 weeks

 4  Nausea from foods No side effects at all I took this for 2 months for nausea after eating. It helped some, but some foods still gave me nausea, the doc had said that I would be able to eat everything. He wanted me to take it forever, but the manufacturer said they have not done any studies of long term side effects after 60 days. F 65 60 days

 1  Stomach ulcer Felt high and “on something” every time I took this. I noticed after awhile it severely impacted my tolerance for alcohol, I got a DUI because of this. Major job transportation problem! This is not warned about on the prescribing literature, which I read thoroughly. My doctor never warned me about this or any other side effects. I also notice it makes me very, very drowsy, it’s hard to concentrate. This affects my job performance. I tried taking it before bedtime, and couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. Just awful! I’m angry about all of this, and from what I have learned on WorstPills.org, and internet searches. It alleviated the stomach pain, but I did not heal quickly. Doctor then told me to double the dose and come back in 3 months...but no way! I was having such issues with 1x /day, that now I have stopped this PPI completely. I still feel its effects in my system 2 weeks later. Really unhappy with this whole experience. I’ll use aloe drinks F 54 3 months

 1  GERD Nausea, headaches, extreme jitteriness, insomnia, migraine attacks. It seemed to help quell acid reflux but the side effects were much worse than the illness. The side effects accelerated each day until I quit taking it. Worse, they lingered for a couple of days after I stopped. Dr. then prescribed omeprazole and I got the same side effects. M 72 3 days

 3  Duodenal ulcer excruciating headaches, hot n' cold flashes, flu like symptoms; back pains, runny nose, mild fever, low energy. Nausea, some occasional diarrhea, racing heart, restlessness & mild vision problem. My physician prescribe 40mgs at first couldn't stand the side effects, worse than on 20 mgs since I dealt with bouts of anxiety at 40mgs. Tried again 6 months later, on half the initial dosage and got the side effects I enumerated. It did stop the digestive pains but at what price. I 'm quitting tomorrow my back pains are now horrendous. Will look for natural alternative. F 51 2.5 weeks
