Drug Uses
Protonix is used for short–term treatment (7–10 days) of severe inflammation and erosion of the esophagus due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, or stomach contents rising back into the esophagus) in adults. Protonix is also used to treat certain situations associated with Zollinger–Ellison syndrome and similar situations.
How Taken
Use Protonix as advised by your physician. To avoid stomach upset take Protonix with a meal. Protonix should not be taken within four hours of imidazoles (eg, ketoconazole).
