What is Protonix? Protonix (pantoprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Protonix is used to treat erosive esophagitis (damage to the esophagus from stomach acid), and other conditions involving excess stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Protonix is not for immediate relief of heartburn symptoms.
Two months ago I was diagnosed with a stomach ulcer and put on Protonix. I was put on it because I was having abdominal pain, constipation, fatigue, nausea and heartburn. First they did a CT scan of my appendix, liver, etc with contrast to see if I had a gall stone or something but it came back fine.
