Protonix (Pantoprazole Sodium) and/or alternatives

General Information on Protonix

People suffering from severe acidity problems are advised to buy Protonix as a short-term treatment option. The chemical composition of Protonix is primarily that of Pantoprazole. Pantoprazole is a type of proton pump inhibitor or PPI drug used in the treatment of excess stomach acid production. Medical conditions such as stomach ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), esophageal irritation from acid reflux, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome are all treated using PPI drugs such as Pantoprazole. The drug works by blocking enzymes in the stomach wall that produce acid, which in turn regulates the acidity in the stomach and allows the stomach, esophagus and other affected parts to heal.

Side Effects of Protonix

Patients prescribed Pantoprazole should be aware of all the side effects associated with this medicine before they buy Protonix. The common reactions to Protonix are mild nausea, stomach ache, gas, dizziness, headache and body aches especially in the joints. The use of Protonix may lead to magnesium deficiency. Low magnesium levels cause a variety of reactions in the body such as uneven heartbeat, jerky muscle movement, weakness in the muscles, seizures, and confusion. If you witness any of these indications, you should immediately get in touch with your doctor.

Precautions

Before you buy Protonix, it is better to discuss the precautions with your doctor. There are some common precautions that apply to everyone. PPI drug usage increases the risk of broken bones, especially when taken in high doses over long periods of time. Before opting for this medicine, it would be a good idea to weigh the pros and cons of using it.

Low magnesium levels are another problem caused by the Pantoprazole in Protonix. The symptoms of magnesium deficiency or hypomagnesemia are usually muscle spasms, seizures, and an irregular heart rate. If any of these symptoms surface, your doctor should be informed and steps must be taken accordingly.

Protonix use should be periodically monitored so that any deficiencies and/or irregularities can be checked before the condition becomes serious. A lot of people are allergic to Protonix, which is why they should get tested before starting the treatment.

Protoxin Dosage

The recommended dosage for treating GERD is Protonix 40mg every day for four to eight weeks. Each Protonix 40 mg tablet should be administered thirty minutes before mealtime to get the maximum benefits. The tablets should be had whole and not chewed, split or crushed.

Interactions of Protoxin

Protonix, like all acid suppressants, can sometimes interfere with Vitamin B-12 absorption, which means that with regular use, a person may suffer from Vitamin B-12 deficiency. Discussing these concerns with your doctor will let you know what steps to take in order to prevent this deficiency.

Protonix is classified as a category B drug, which is not tested on pregnant ladies. However, if you are breastfeeding, you should consult your doctor before taking the drug.

Pantoprazole use reduces the absorption of ketoconazole and using Protoxin may reduce its concentration in the blood. In an opposite reaction, the concentration of digoxin is increased. Other medications, chemicals and minerals that interact with Protoxin usage are iron compounds, ampicillin, blood thinners, Atazanavir and Clopidogrel.

Before you buy Protoxin, always consult your doctor to find out how it can affect you and only then use the prescribed doses.
