A member asked:

Take protonix (pantoprazole) but still have mild post nasal drip, clearing throat clear mucus/ little yellow/ burping/ feeling something in throat and spasm. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrong drug: Protonix (pantoprazole) is not for postnasal drip. Protonix (pantoprazole) decreases gastric acid. I would see you physician and get treated for the postnasal drip. this treatment would help most of your symptoms.
