Drug Uses
Protonix is used for short–term curing (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
Use Protonix as advised by your doctor. To avoid stomach upset take Protonix with a meal. Protonix should not be taken within four hours of imidazoles (eg, ketoconazole).
