Drug Uses
Protonix is used for short–term treatment (7–10 days) of severe inflammation and erosion of the esophagus due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, or stomach contents rising back into the esophagus) in adults. Protonix is also used to cure certain situations associated with Zollinger–Ellison syndrome and similar conditions.
How Taken
Take Protonix as advised by your physician. To avoid stomach upset take Protonix with a meal. Protonix should not be taken within 4 hours of imidazoles (eg, ketoconazole).
Additional Information
Protonix may cause dizziness. These effects may worsen if Protonix is taken with alcohol or certain other medications. Use Protonix with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly dangerous tasks until you know how you react to this drug. If your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, call your physician. This pill should be used only by the patient for whom it has been suggested. Do not take less or more or take it more often than prescribed by your physician.
