Drug Uses
Protonix is used for short–term healing (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 recommended by your doctor. 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. Take Protonix with caution. Don't drive or perform other possibly dangerous tasks until you know how you react to this medication. If your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, visit your doctor. This pill should be used only by the patient for whom it has been advised. Do not take less or more or take it more often than directed by your physician.
