A member asked:
How long does it take for an ulcer to heal during protonix (pantoprazole) 40mg therapy? when should a second egd be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends...: on multiple factors, the size, location, and cause of the ulcer being most prominent. If or when a followup EGD is necessary depends mostly on whether it's located in the stomach or duodenum, and whether bleeding occurred. Follow your gastroenterologist's advice.
