Pantoprazole is the non-proprietary name for a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) used to alleviate symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and heal the esophagus. Patients who have Zollinger–Ellison syndrome also buy pantoprazole to reduce or eliminate symptoms, and PPIs are sometimes given to reduce side effects from other medications.

Patients more commonly buy pantoprazole under the brand name Protonix, though it's also sold under a wide variety of generic names.

This product can be used in patients age 5 and up, though dosage will need to be modified for young children. Parents should not buy pantoprazole for patients under 5 years of age without explicit doctor approval.

What Pantoprazole Does

As a PPI, pantoprazole inhibits the production of stomach acid. While other medications may also do so, PPIs are the most powerful and the preferred treatment. PPIs are among the most widely-used medications in the world.

Pantoprazole in particular is used to treat GERD, in which stomach acid comes back up into the esophagus, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome, in which too much acid is produced. In both cases pantoprazole alleviates symptoms and prevents further damage, allowing the esophagus to heal.

GERD can cause a range of unpleasant symptoms, including:

• Heartburn
• Chest pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Difficulty swallowing
• Coughing
• Bad breath
• Tasting acid
• Deterioration of teeth

Untreated it can lead to more complications, including cancer. Causes of GERD are equally varied; other medications, obesity, smoking, pregnancy, injury, physical defects and numerous other factors can all contribute, and may need to be addressed through lifestyle changes, surgery, and so forth to completely heal the condition.

Zollinger–Ellison syndrome is even more serious, often producing symptoms of:

• Nausea
• Wheezing
• Diarrhea
• Fatty diarrhea
• Vomiting blood
• Loss of appetite
• Malnourishment

Patients buy pantoprazole to alleviate symptoms of Zollinger–Ellison syndrome as well, which it often eliminates completely. If no other measures are taken to control the condition, treatment may continue long term.

Healing with Pantoprazole

Pantoprazole is available in tablets or oral solution. The oral solution is ideal for those who are unable or reluctant to swallow whole tablets; tablets are preferred for other patients. One can buy pantoprazole tablets in 20 mg or 40 mg strengths. Taking two 20 mg tablets---which are smaller than 40 mg tablets---provides the same benefit as a single 40 mg tablet.

Treatment with pantoprazole depends on weight and what's being treated.

To treat GERD and heal erosive esophagitis in adults:

• Take 40 mg once per day.
• Continue treatment for up to 8 weeks.

To treat GERD in children weighing 88 lbs (40 kg) or less:

• Take 20 mg once per day.
• Continue treatment for up to 8 weeks.

To help with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome or similar conditions in which excessive stomach acid is produced:

• Take 40 mg twice per day.
• Continue treatment for as long as a doctor recommends.

Note that, in treating GERD or healing erosive esophagitis, pantoprazole use can extend to 16 weeks if needed, provided it produces significant benefit in the first 8 weeks and no side effects have developed. Treatment for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome can continue much longer. The risk of side effects increases with duration of use; these patients may want to attend regular doctor screenings to monitor for developing side effects.
