User Reviews for pantoprazole oral

After being on this medication since last year I am now suffering from a very itchy rash which I now find out can be a side effect. I also occasionally still have pains that seem like a heart attack. I am going to stop taking it for a while to see if the rash goes away.

I am now experiencing burning when urinating any suggestions?

The doctor has kept me on this drug for 8 mos. I'm stopping it right now after experiencing several of the worst side effects with increasing severity. Terrible diarrhea.

My doctor has had me on this frug for 8 mos. I have developed severe diarrhea. It's so bad I cannot leave the house. All my normal activity like golf 3 times per week have been stopped. I'm stopping taking this since reading here about side effects, especially for seniors.

I have to take high doses of prednisone when I have an asthma flareup. This causes daily, severely painful Nutcracker Esophageal spasms. This med stops them. However, it also STOPS bowel movements and causes intractable constipation until you stop the med and take a dose of Milk of Magnesia. 2 days afterwards the spasms start again without the Protonix. So frustrating b/c the spasms cause me to have to stay at home b/c of the severity of them. They last an hour and can recur later in the same day. I'm so discouraged. Doctor has just prescribed Glycate. That website says it can cause constipation. Oh my!Read More Read Less

Was given this generic medication instead of name brand protonix. It is not effective at all for my symptoms! After a weeks use all my symptoms are back! Burning pain. Would leave no stars but would not let me. I have used protonix for last 5 years with no symptoms!

I see that it is recommneded to stop taking this drug after 8 weeks unless otherwise directed. I have been taking this for almost 6 months - once a day. I am now experiencing some of the side effects mentioned,especially the diaherra and muscle aches. I am going to stop using for a few weeks and see if it eases these side effects.

Everytime I take the medicine 1 hour later pain comes like ur having a bby with going on I ask my self

I used Nexium and was completely satisfied. When it was n o longer avail through my RX plan, my doctor switched me to this. Plan to ask for something else.

I took Prilosec for years and my doc suggested this and it works far far better. Wish I had started it 10 years ago.

This medicine is the only one so far that has worked for me. Been on it 2.5 weeks and only draw back is getting tingling and numbness in lips and left cheek.

Dr. directed take one half hour before breakfast. For me has been a "miracle" drug. Historically had heartburn from time to time, but then began having more and more acid reflux and increased difficulty swallowing. Got so bad had to sleep sitting up. Endoscopy showed erosion and damage to esophagus. The pantoprazole worked from the first dose or two to put a stop to the acid reflux and heartburn. Trying to lessen frequency of taking as directed by Dr. and trying every other day but can tell when haven't taken it that day. Have not had any "side effects" that I recognize resulting from taking. Only concern is what are the long term side effects!Read More Read Less

Been taking for a number of years without complication but now every time I take it my chest gets tight and moves up to my throat feeling as though I am having an asthma attack.

I've been put on this to use with Celecoxib but find it ineffective, so that I'm boosting with Gaviscon multiple times per day. I was on Omeprazole, but that was ineffective too.

Ranitidine was getting iffy for help. So far this has worked great.

had acid reflex stopped it tried everything on counters. couldn't sleep at night when I take it I can.

Not helping me.Prilosec was much better.

Was on Nexium for 3 years. Drug program switched me to pantoprazole which I have been using for at least another 4 years. Both have worked very well. Friends say I should be aware of long term effects which I have not had. Love it, stopped the gerd in days and has not returned.
