"I was prescribed Pantoprazole for H-pylori. I have experienced headaches, shortness of breath and awful metalic taste in my mouth. A recent visit to the Doctor, and I was found to have high blood pressure, so was put on Ramipril for that. The side effects were constant coughing to the point of vomiting. I looked up Ramipril only to find it was the source of the coughing, so called my M.D. to have it changed to a non ACE-inhibiter. Now I just did a search on the pantoprazole, -only to find that it can have a contraindication of high blood pressure! Bloody hell! Can't these M.D.'s do a simple research!? What a mess I'm in now. Would have been better off without either drug."

"Be careful using Pantoprazole (Protonix) for extended periods. It causes brittle bones in wrists, hips, knees, shoulders etc. I'm 71 and can no longer lift myself from the bathtub so it's probably a Nursing Home for whatever days I have left. My Dr didn't warn me of using it for over five years."

"I am taking this with amoxicillian and flagyl and pantaprazole for H Pylori infection. I don't find any bad symptoms. I am on my 3rd day of this regiment and find that there are really no side effects but a bit of a headache. I am just so thankful that there is a cure. Good Health to you."

"Haven't been effective at all. Gave me severe headache. I switched to esomeprazole instead which was very very effective."

"Been on pantoprazole for about 2 months now. Have an almost constant headache with varying degrees of pain plus lots of burping. Hate this drug. Will be so glad to get off of it. Also extremely fatigued with no energy."
