User Reviews for pantoprazole oral

I started this med about two years ago and stopped it. Because I got better but now I'm taking it again. Sorry, it didn't work for the others!

While it has helped with the acid reflux it has caused increase pain in the upper lift side of the chest (area of the esophagus).

I just filled the prescription for Pantoprazole and decided to look it up. After reading all the reviews, I'll not take it. Dr. gave it to me in conjunction w/ Ibuprofen so that I wouldn't get an upset stomach from the Ibuprofen. The side effects sound nasty. No thanks. My review is odd as I haven't taken the medicine.

Works very well for me, have used it for the last two years. But when I stop even for a day the heartbur comes back right away

Medication rises my blood pressure

Seems to have caused unexplained weight gain regardless of excercising and proper diet.

Have been on pantoprazole for 1 month. Very ineffective. Also - ankles are swollen and still have a bad dry cough. No relief with this drug whatsoever.

I was originally taking Protonix since 2006. Now since early March, the insurance company will only pay for the generic. Just a few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, which I never have had EVER. One of the main ingredients in this med is SODIUM, which may be a contributing factor to my recent dilemma. I will be calling the pharmacist to verify what has happened to me, and possibly seeking legal assistance due to my ill health now.

took the first pill...terrible nausea, headache and stomach ache... that never happened with prilosec...

dicoloration of skin spots, and slight skin elevation,also heartburn returned,was on nexium . the best,then prilosec otc worked better than this stuff.

I was on Protonix for 3 months, and the pharmacy switched me to Pantoprazole. I've had no ill side effects. Stomach acid is still gone, have had nothing but wonderful results. If you have acid and gas even after taking this as prescribed, there's probably another issue with your intestines or stomach you should have checked out.

i went off the medication and now im back on it and it seems to be helping me just fine. Im glad i decided to go back on it.

I have found PANTOPRAZOLE quite effective in treating my symptoms. Unlike most of the other reviewers, however, I've never been prescribed the brand name version Protonix. (Although I did take Aciphex for a few months.)

I am worried now I have never taking anything till now and just took my first pill of pantoprazole and the review are not good on here oh my gosh maybe I shouldnt take anymore and talk to my doc I sure dont want to go through what you people have . Wow Thanks for the info

wow, i have to agree with all the other comments. I just stopped taking it "cold turkey" yesterday. My chiropractor gave me enzymes and H-acid activators to use after each meal. I already feel better. Miss the Protonix, but not the price. Eat smaller portions, avoid caffine, spice, fried foods, try not to drink with your meal, etc. Still feel a bit of heat in my upper stomach area, but have more energy also and am more alert.

I've been on Protonix for years and it worked wonderfully. This stuff (switched by my pharmacy because of my insurance) is AWFUL! I've been having almost daily heartburn and the gas! Ugh! I gotta get off this stuff.

I have been taking Protonix for 8 years. When I moved to a different city the pharmacist switched me to this medication. Three days later my stomach was hurting and I had severe gas pains and constipation. This medication does not work.

This drug when taken as a generic to protonix causes me serious problems such as chill efects and other condition. This drug is not a true representation of "Protonix"

After being on Protonix for almost 2 years, my acid reflux was all but contained. I rarely had any problems, ever. The pharmacy changed my prescription to this generic, and in less than a month all of the old problems were back. This is ineffective to say the least.
