Question 2

what would the risks be taking protonix 40mg twice in a day by accident? say the first dosage occurred around 7am, and the second one occurred around 3 pm?

Accepted Answer

Not significant: Sometimes prescribed as such, twice a day. The only thing would be to make some changes, so that it will not happen again as it may be different with other pills, using a pillbox, or an app that will keep track of the pills you take.

Question 3

does this protopic really work?

Accepted Answer

Protopic: Tacrolimus ointment is used to treat the symptoms of eczema (atopic dermatitis; a skin disease that causes the skin to be dry and itchy and to sometimes develop red, scaly rashes) in patients who cannot use other medications for their condition or whose eczema has not responded to another medication. Tacrolimus is in a class of medications called topical calcineurin inhibitors. It is effective.

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no contraindication for taking Protonix with carafate (sucralfate).

Question 5

is protonix (pantoprazole) effective?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not for all: Protonix belongs to a class of antacid medication called proton-pump-inhibitor such as the famous purple pill, prilosec. Some examples: prilosec, nexium, prevacid, aciphex, dexilant, (dexlansoprazole) and protonix--they differ slightly, but generally have similar efficacy. One may work for one person, but not another. So, if it is not working for you, consult doc for a change. Good luck.

Acid reflux: This is an inhibitor of the proton pump that produces stomach acid.  It is prescribed for acid reflux, stomach acidity, indigestion and as an adjunct for medications such as Ibuprofen which can cause excess acid and stomach upset as well as ulcerations and bleeding.

Question 7

does protopic help clear up peri oral demitits?

Accepted Answer

It can but it can: be very irritating at first. Your derm or doctor should have you mix it with a steroid cream for 1-2 weeks and then it can be used alone. It is not my first line of treatment for Perioral derm, but in recalcitrant cases it can help

Question 8

Yes: Gas x is simethicone- an anti-gas formula. Protonix (pantoprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor which suppresses acid secretion  in your stomach.  The two medications can be used together safely.

Question 9

how long can you take protonix (pantoprazole) fir?

Accepted Answer

As needed: It should be taken as long as needed and at the lowest dose possible. That being said patients with barrwtt's esophagus should remain on it. I would discuss with a md before using any ppi for greater than 3 months.

Question 10

is it ok to take protonix (pantoprazole) twice a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Protonix (pantoprazole) needs to be taken around 30 min before the first meal of the day. In case of severe reflux symptoms, you can double the dose to twice a day.  But as with any ppi, you should take longer than 1 -2 months without being consulted by a physician. 
Long term side effects may be dangerous such as osteoporosis, hip fracture, bacterial overgrowth etc.
