A member asked:
If you take pantoprozale and don't have an ulcer will it give you the symptoms of an ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you are taking pantoprazole and having stomach pains from it then this is a side effect and you should try another medication. It is always best not to take medications like pantoprazole if a milder medication for heartburn or reflux would work for you. You could try Zantac (ranitidine) which is now over the counter instead. If you have an ulcer then a medication like pantoprazole would be needed.
