this is actually something that has recently been up for debate. there have been conflicting studies that show in some cases that when people were on long-term proton pump inhibitors like protonix they actually did develop a tolerance to them. when they discontinued the medication they actually got rebound heartburn. it did subside though over two months. they are going to be doing some additional studies to clarify this but there is that slight possibility. so once again you want to be in contact with your physician or healthcare provider who is monitoring your progress talk to your pharmacist see how your symptoms are. keep your diary see if your symptoms are getting worse or are they okay and over that period of time we will be able to tell you if you can discontinue the medication or not.
can i develop a tolerance to protonix within two months?
