Protonix (Pantoprazole)
Generic Name: Pantoprazole (pan-TOE-pra-zole)
Brand Name: Protonix
Protonix reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach and is therefore used to treat Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and similar conditions. It is also used over no more than 7 to 10 days to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) where stomach acid rises and damages the esophagus. It may be used to treat such other conditions as your physician thinks appropriate. |
