"I’ve been on Protonix for 3 months now after suffering a rupture in my stomach from an ulcer, it has drastically changed my body in a good way. The gastrointestinal perforation I had almost finished me off, and I spent 14 days in the hospital. My surgeon put me on Protonix pretty much right while I was in recovery. I’m not sure about side effects because I haven’t experienced any, but this little pill has helped me by healing my ulcers and controlling the acid in my gut. This stuff is basically saving my life."

"Hospitalized in January 2012 due to a bleeding peptic ulcer, which I didn't know I had. The GI doctor said the ulcer was due not to H. pylori but entirely to NSAIDs, specifically the nightly 325 mg aspirin (combination therapy with Plavix for RCA stent, December 2010), to which I added generous doses of Advil (600-800 mg) most days, trying to combat muscle pain from simvastatin. My current combination of Livalo 2 mg and 400 mg CoQ10 has resulted in no pain. I am supposed to continue taking Protonix as long as I am taking aspirin (now only 81 mg). There have been no visible side effects after a year and a half. I do take magnesium 2-3 times a week due to concerns about Protonix lowering my magnesium levels. I also take Caltrate for the osteoporosis it may cause. Protonix is easy to take but hard to get off of, I hear."

"Esophageal ulcer: I had problems off and on with horrible heartburn throughout my teen years until I ended up with an ulcer due to undiagnosed acid reflux and other problems. I was prescribed Protonix, and it was the only thing that worked. Since then, I have been able to use Tagamet (cimetidine) for everyday use, along with watching what I eat, but the Protonix is awesome."
