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  Severe hyperacidity/ulcers The medicine helped a lot to get rid of the ulcers and hyper-acidity issues. But trying to come off has been *hell* Every time I try to cut my dose down from 40 to 20 mg's I have the most excrutiating bone pain! My back, neck, knees and hips ache 24/7 until I go back up to 40 mg's. I WISH that the Dr would have warned me that long time use would mess up my acidity levels so badly that I would never be able to come off this medication again. I have had chronic sweating/hot/cold issues for years now. Internet research finally enlightened me that using acid suppressing drugs causes major body temperature issues as well as terrible nightmares (yes, have had those every night, never realizing it was the P.P.I. meds causing this.) I feel totally gutted that no Dr ever warned me that to try to come off this drug would be impossible. F 56 5 years
