Ok to chew up pronitix 40mg pills? child on it for inflammation of stomach & small intestine. she cant swallow pills yet. also what could inflammation be coming from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not chewable.: I don't believe that Protonix is chewable. Chewing a non-chewable pill may affect its metabolism and pharmacokinetics. More importantly, depending on the age of your child, the 40mg dose may be too high.
