    General Description

    Pantoprazole, first sold under the brand name Protonix, is a medication used for the treatment of stomach ulcers, short-term treatment of erosive esophagitis due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis, and pathological hypersecretory conditions including Zollinger–Ellison syndrome.[2] It may also be used along with other medications to eliminate Helicobacter pylori.[3] It is available by mouth and by injection into a vein.[2] Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and joint pain.[2] More serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, a type of chronic inflammation known as atrophic gastritis, Clostridium difficile infection, low magnesium, and vitamin B-12 deficiency.[2] Use in pregnancy appears to be safe.[2] Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that decreases gastric acid secretion.[2] It works by inactivating (H+/K+)-ATPase function in the stomach.
