I have been taking this medication for decades, and I have definitely suffered from mineral depletion, especially magnesium and iron, even though the new Nexium drug adds magnesium in an effort to make up for some of that. Yes, for the most part, it has eased the worst of my GERD symptoms. However, I along with the mineral depletion, I also have chronic, low-grade gastroenteritis and IBS symptoms. One of my gastroenterologists wisely told me to stop using the medication because 1) they were never meant to be taken for a lifetime, even though many doctors have consistently prescribed this medication for years, and 2) the side effects mentioned in the video are becoming more well known by doctors. I tried to use a non-PPI anti acid substitute, and it didn’t work. I have not been able to successfully stop using a PPI. No one is talking about the addictive qualities of PPIs! These PPIs are damn near impossible to stop without having severe rebound reflux.
I lowered dose of omeprazole from 20 to 10mg then taking every other day with some success but still some gerd. Now trying herbal route and drinking meadowsweet tea and aloe vera. Determined to stop ppi and will keep going until body settles down
I took Omeprazole for about 5 years. I tried stopping at about 3 years of use and was miserable with the heart burn and acid that I started taking it again. I finally tried again with many chewable antacids and diet modifications, was still miserable for about 2 weeks. It's rediculous that they say it's not for long term use but, it takes about a week to work. ❤️✌️
@@thecomet9999 Yes, I know exactly what you mean. However, I went to a new gastroenterologist just today and talked to him about PPI’s, and he said that a lot of research has been done to show that the good far outweighs any “bad” side effects, especially if they are working for us. They do work for me as far as GERD/heartburn is concerned. At 74, I’ve decided to quit worrying about the side effects and just take the medication that helps. Every single medication we take, including those for diabetes, can give some people some side effects. I agree that I need to weigh the good vs the bad. There are no easy answers. Even all of these diets, such as KETO, PALEO, etc., have their negative sides for some people.
Have you tried ACV (apple cider vinegar) for at least a month. That helped me more than anything. Make sure you drink at least 8oz of water afterwards. I take one shot when I get home from work around 5:30 pm. I will on occasion need a Nexium if I eat Italian but not everyday.
You just have to suffer for a while when you come off of it. No way around it, although some things help like the ACV mentioned above. The suffering will cause you to watch your diet more so it's not all bad.
Pantoprazole, also known as Protonix or Pantilock, is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by reducing stomach acidity. Along with other PPIs like Omeprazole, it inhibits proton pumps, alleviating acid reflux symptoms. However, it can lead to various side effects and medical issues. Common side effects include headaches, abdominal pain, bowel habit changes (diarrhea or constipation), increased flatulence, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, dizziness, pruritus, skin rashes, facial swelling, and bodily swelling. Long-term use may cause nutrient deficiencies like hypomagnesemia and vitamin B12 deficiency, leading to gastrointestinal infections such as C. difficile-associated diarrhea. Additionally, prolonged use is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, bone fractures (especially in the hip, wrist, and spine), and possibly dementia. Here are five tips for managing pantoprazole use: 1. Regularly monitor for signs of nutrient deficiencies, especially magnesium and vitamin B12 levels, and consider supplementation if necessary. 2. Use pantoprazole for the shortest duration possible to minimize the risk of long-term side effects. 3. Consider periodic assessments to determine if continued medication is necessary, as some patients may be able to manage symptoms with lifestyle changes. 4. Be cautious when prescribing pantoprazole alongside diuretics, as it may increase the risk of hypomagnesemia. 5. Educate patients about the increased risk of gastrointestinal infections and fractures associated with long-term pantoprazole use, encouraging them to report any concerning symptoms promptly.
Very informative and straight to the point. I just recently got prescribed to take this for the rest of my life and then you come out with a video on the drug. The irony. Love the content. Keep it up
I developed stage 3 renal failure due too pantoprazole fortunately it was discovered when I had my yearly blood work done when I stopped taking it my kidneys returned to normal. Scary!
After watching this video I am stopping Pantoprazole immediately. I have never suffered from chronic acid reflux, I think I've had it 6 or 7 times in 58 years so I've always wondered why it was prescribed to me. Also, the last 6+ months I've developed digestive and intestinal issues very similar to IBS so I'm trying to eliminate anything that might cause intestinal distress.
Looking at People's opinions on this medication makes me terrified of taking pantoprazole I've been really depressed and it's actually really hard for me to eat anything, but when I do eat anything I don't eat acidic droplet or anything that's going to trigger GERD. And I do feel a slight burning sensation and the esophagus area but not into my throat. Sometimes I just drink water to withstand it but when I go to sleep I wake up with fast heart rate. Cardiologist said he thinks it's because of the gerd. It's hard. I don't know what to do anymore. This makes me really sad, especially cuz I have two kids to take care of and I want to be at my best but I feel incredibly depressed because of this
I’m not a doctor, but, I would try everything else before Pantroprazole. Pantoprazole caused me horrible side effects that were worse than the initial problem, I would have rather delt with my chronic abdominal pain if I could go back in time. Try some apple cider vinegar daily if you haven’t yet. Hope we feel better. 🙏🏽
The doctor and the pharmacist told me there were no side effects. I thought I was going to die on this. But the pharmacist insisted they hadn't heard of this. It came on quickly I was not on this long.
I used to take Pantoprazole every day. I no longer take it. Here is what I did: 1) First thing in the morning, I drink one cup of hot (warm) lemon water (1/2 lemon), and then I do not eat anything for about an hour. 2) I follow a low-carb diet, so I now eat very little bread. I used to have a bagel or toast first thing in the morning and then got severe heartburn within 2 minutes if I forgot to take the Pantoprazole (40 mg) first. Now, my breakfast consists of eggs, some cheese, and some vegetables. No heartburn and no Pantoprazole, thanks to the lemon water and avoiding carbs. 3) I was never a coffee drinker, so (luckily) I didn't have to give up coffee. I know it's very hard to give up coffee. I think some people would rather give up their car keys than give up their coffee. 4) I avoid sugar and foods that contain sugar. No cookies, donuts, etc. I do eat 70% dark chocolate daily, but in moderation. I eat cashews or pistachio nuts every day, also in moderation. 5) If I get heartburn later in the day (because I do cheat with some foods that I should not eat) it is not severe and I will sometimes take an antacid such as Gaviscon. This treatment does not have the systemic side effects of drugs like Pantoprazole. Good luck. Remember, you do not need to make a bunch of changes overnight. Work your way gradually towards reducing carbs and sugar, drink your lemon water first thing in the morning, never drink any pop or fruit drinks, and try to minimize coffee and tea.
I'm new to Pantoprazole and am prescribed to take it for 6 months. But I'm also currently taking antibiotics. Thanks for this info. I need to talk to my doctor about this.
Now I know where all this is coming from. I was put on this 15 years ago and I have had almost everything on the symptoms list. I just had blood work done and my mag is very low. I am going to talk to my doctor and ask if I could stop for a while to see if I still need this med. I am also on furosemide 80 mg a day. The pantoperzol.
I don’t even know how you lasted 15 years on it. Maybe they changed the formulas or something, but I can’t last 5 days on Pantoprazole, the side effects are worse than the initial problem. Hope you feel better soon 🙏🏽
Good information! Quite Timely. Most of the side effects I have experienced them. I have been taking Pantoprazole Sodium Delayed-Release Tablet (40mg) since 2019, off and on. I recently was placed on it constantly earlier this year after my endoscopy. About three months ago, I was told to take Pantoprazole twice a day for a month after a Mallory Weiss Tear. Ninety-nine percent of what you shared, I am experiencing. My doctor offered to take antibiotics last month, which I refused. I am anemic. What am I to do? "I am between a rock and a hard place."
I was regularly ending up in A&E with severe stomach pain. Then I started taking Bio Cultures not really expecting much but thought I'd just take them. Months later I realised I had had no problems at all with my stomach. It's all about getting the gut bacteria good. I've been taking these for a few years now, still feeling fine.
The doctor prescribed this for me because I’ve been dealing with post nasal drip for 10yrs and they couldn’t figure out why …. They said it might be an acid reflux issue
@dlpatterson17, are you eating any dairy in your diet?? Do you suffer from chronic allergies?? Post nasal drip could be due to poor allergy maintenance which mat lead to a syndrome called MCAS(MastCellActivationSyndrome) which can indicate a poor immune system response due to CHRONIC INFLAMMATION.
I'm part of the 1% who had nausea, at extrem level, i could not walk for 3 weeks. 2 years after i still feel that my internal ear isn't perfect anymore
Most of the PPI Agents are acidic, as to omeprazole, pantoprazole, and the remaining non-compound drug. It can lead to Acid reflux as well as Spasm, gastritis and numerous illnesses and disease. QD, QPDE, PLA, DD, PLA, administration must be applied according to DX/age/height. Balance of compounds are important.
I had bad acid reflux and the doc put me on a PPI, within 2 weeks I had full blown gastritis with awful symptoms, almost certain it was the PPI that caused this
PPI's almost killed me. I was taking PPI's for over 30 years, they destroyed the stomach acid in my stomach resulting in me not absorbing my minerals to the point, I was so weak and sick I almost died. My Dr. didn't have a clue what was going on with me. My magnesium, B-12, bowels, nausea, edema, infections of my stomach and the list goes on. I ended up in the hospital and almost died. I could not eat anything. I lost 75lbs before I got many tests done because of slow testing due to covid. I gave them up cold turkey against the advice of my doctor and I started taking supplements for many months just to get my strength back, before I started eating again. Today one year later, I have gained back 20 lbs, I have tons of energy and I don't take any meds period. Also, I don't get acid reflux, heartburn anymore. I do take some ACV every second day with water. Please give up these PPI's. They will make you sick in so many ways.
Could not get my doctor to understand why I want to stop taking ppi. I have decreased usage by losing weight and avoiding foods like tomato sauce and onions. Only take it at night . But I want to get off totally. Why would doctors think it's a good idea to just take this for the rest of life. Can't see past the next visit.
So should I continue drinking this as my medication? If they have a side effects? What is the best medication for us? Thanks for answering my question... Thanks
@@cydkriletich6538 well, I was doing okay but I really had to watch what I eat. Basically everything I ate was causing problems. I started taking the other pill but tbh the ups and downs were troublesome. I make my own kefir, so I was using that as well as improving my diet. I ended up going back to omeprazole abotu a month ago after a lot of thought and consideration. The amount of burning in my esophagus was troubling and my doctor said the constant inflammation can cause even worse problems, like cancer. I really didn't want to go back after reading so many negative comments but I think for me, if I can take one 10mg pill per day, and all the pain, the constant burps, and everything else is calm and painless, I'm just going to take it. I'm not one to take pills, and I try to do my own research as well as listen to my doctor, who I really trust bc she listens to me and doesn't push me to take anything. Omeprazole is best for me.
Do you have any idea why most patients have no problem going cold turkey - just quitting ppi, while others get horrible withdrawal symptoms? I've been trying to quit for 9 years, but I got the worst acid reflux of my life when I simply didn't take the ppi for 2 days. The doctors couldn't or wouldn't help. In the end I found an internet page, where people like me self-helped each other. Now I've been taking omeprazol in capsules since 2017, which I open and gradually remove one bullet of the medication per 3 weeks or something. Now I'm taking under 5 mg daily, and still I get mild withdrawal ever time I reduce. What is that? Most doctors don't even believe me.
I wish I knew my gerd was caused by sleep apnea. I have a cpap now and no longer snoring all night. It helps a lot. I am weaning off the omeprazole within the last 2 weeks.
I had Nissen fundoplication & large hiatal hernia repair done many years ago, but I still take 30mg of omeprazole daily. Wonder if I need it any longer?
Ya, I don’t think some people watching this video see or understand your point. It’s a good point. With every medical intervention, you have to weigh the risk of intervening versus the risk of not intervening. They just see the risk and think…I must stop this. And then they’re at a greater risk for stomach or esophageal cancer.
But what about short term use? No longer than 12 weeks then tapper off? I have gastritis and started this medicine 2 weeks ago and has relieved so much of my symptoms(HORRIBLE INTENSE stomach burning, nausea, sternum pain, vomit taste in throat, sour feeling in stomach, gurgling stomach, reflux)Definitely not 100 percent better, but with eating bland, cutting out coffee soda spicy food, and taking this medication short term, I’m hoping to be healed or on the road to healing within 2-3 months so I can get off of it. I’m already starting to feel a little better once I cut out coffee soda and started this medicine.
Only a matter of time when your arms start getting bruised and you can start going to the doctor and they say oh you need to be on some antibiotics and then one day you’ll get C-Diff then you will figure out that all this was from these drugs that this guy is talking about. Then you’ll try to get off of them and you’ll have deep bone and muscle deep pain So severe, you can’t sit down to the toilet, or jump on your bed get into your car without Tremendous pain.
Started taking pantropazole 1st month was ok took about 2 weeks for it to kick in, was ok for about 3 months then i started to get headaches and dizziness,now i see those are sideeffects from it,goingto talk to my Dr and see if i should continue taking them,will update after‐----- Update been off pantropazole for 3 weeks now i feel good if i do go out drinks/foods that i know are going to be acidic I'll take a pepcid 1hr before and my symtoms dont show up.
I was prescribed this because I had heart palpitations at night. Cardiologist said that it was due to GERD. I'm seeing all the side effects and I'm terrified. I have two children that I need to take care of and the thought of the side effects. Hindering my ability to breathe over my head hurting. It's just frustrating like the whole point is wanting to feel better and the side effects kind of sound scary. I'm so depressed
I was on Pantoprazole for several years > 7, and then I was able to wean myself off it when I realized that it had all these side effects my digestion in general was slow. Last week, I was treated for a bleeding duodenum ulcer and I was again prescribed pantoprazole 40mg 2x daily for a month. Do these long-term effects continue once you have discontinued the use of it, and if so, after how long does your body recuperate? thanks!
I was on Omeprazole for 2 weeks. Dizziness and extreme weakness, thought i was going to faint the one day. 10 days later and still have light Dizziness and some weakness.
You were the first person I've seen that hasn't had any side effects. I was told to take them because I m getting heart palpitations at night and my cardiologist said he thinks it's because I'm overweight and I have GERD. He said taking these pills and losing weight it should go away
What horrible drugs. I take an antidepressant and something for hypertension. I recently had terrible, painful swelling of the thumb and firt two fingers. Local dr diagnosed carpal tunnel injury. Prescribed pregabalin and Omeprazole. Within a day I lost control of both bladder and bowels. Considering the drastic side effects,why prescribe them at all. Now I also have strange swollen areas on my legs and groin. I never had
Man and my gastro doctor wanted me to take this for the rest of my life to treat my EOE. Screw that. For my kidneys alone I told her no and now I have a much safer medicine that I swallow and it coats the inside of my throat. It’s so odd she would try these instead of something much safer.
Easier to call it Protonix, for me it has helped. It does kind of give you a small migraine, bt for the most part it helped me with the stomach pain. When i first had the reflux in January I was taking Omeprazole the side effect was realing crazy because it was like one of those altered side effect almost as if i was experiencing someones strange "happy" expressive behavior without expressing it basically i felt like waving happy out the window stuff that i never do. So after that i found it really strange so i took it like 4 times and then stopped because i disliked the side effect so protonix is like a stomach pain focused. You wont feel the side effect i explain with omneprazole kind of helps you get oxygen be want to be active. When i got sick they diagnosed me with relfux bt i wasnt sure how i got sick...very hard to explain i tried to explain this in the video i posted
Prescription Pantoprazole caused severe pain in my peter 🍆 and foot 🦶🏾10/10 and also abnormal sleepiness. Yes I have been tested for stds, and stis all are negative. I would rather have my abdominal pain and heartburn back than this. And to think my doctor stated there would be no side effects smh. Therefore, I would not recommend Pantoprazole, feels like my peter is about to fall off, try at your own risk. ⚠️ ‼️
My advice don't take it. Sort you problem with natural means. I did. It's easy the info is here on you tube. Do your research and put into practice, it's simple. Stop popping pills and take control. Be responsible for your own health.
Americans need to learn to enunciate and speak more slowly if they want to be understood by the widest audience. I can understand any British accent but parts of this were difficult to understand. Now to PPIs: I started taking omeprazole many years ago, and then switched to pantoprazole before I retired about 10 years ago, and despite that I still suffer from excess stomach acidity. Most of the conditions you mentioned as side effects, such as headaches, gastrointestinal problems, osteoporosis and spinal fractures, all predate taking PPIs, and have not changed since, except that I probably suffer fewer headaches and gut proglems seem to be in remission. I'm not sure about dementia, because although I believe I am losing my mind, tests indicate otherwise.
Pantoprazole & Omeprazole along with a weight factor & a recovering immune system (from hypomagnesia caused by these drugs) are what made my covid so bad back in 2019. I was taking them on & off, alternating, for nearly a year & my GERD slowly got worse, not better. What did ultimately fix it was a TIF procedure for what also turned out to be a hiatal hernia & Barrett's esophagus. The reflux stopped immediately & I haven't had a problem since the surgery back in March of 2021. (I never caught any other covid strains, only the initial alpha strain, while being in & out of doctor's offices or the hospital for tests & the surgery.)
I'm curious how you know you had covid when the tests for it have been proven to be faulty. I'm also curious what happened to the flu, common cold, and other illnesses during that time. They magically disappeared 🤷♂️

I'm part of the 1% who had nausea, at extrem level, i could not walk for 3 weeks. 2 years after i still feel that my internal ear isn't perfect anymore
Most of the PPI Agents are acidic, as to omeprazole, pantoprazole, and the remaining non-compound drug. It can lead to Acid reflux as well as Spasm, gastritis and numerous illnesses and disease. QD, QPDE, PLA, DD, PLA, administration must be applied according to DX/age/height. Balance of compounds are important.
I had bad acid reflux and the doc put me on a PPI, within 2 weeks I had full blown gastritis with awful symptoms, almost certain it was the PPI that caused this
PPI's almost killed me. I was taking PPI's for over 30 years, they destroyed the stomach acid in my stomach resulting in me not absorbing my minerals to the point, I was so weak and sick I almost died. My Dr. didn't have a clue what was going on with me. My magnesium, B-12, bowels, nausea, edema, infections of my stomach and the list goes on. I ended up in the hospital and almost died. I could not eat anything. I lost 75lbs before I got many tests done because of slow testing due to covid. I gave them up cold turkey against the advice of my doctor and I started taking supplements for many months just to get my strength back, before I
started eating again. Today one year later, I have gained back 20 lbs, I have tons of energy and I don't take any meds period. Also, I don't get acid reflux, heartburn anymore. I do take some ACV every second day with water. Please give up these PPI's. They will make you sick in so many ways.
I though suppose to take only 2-8 week 😕
Omg I have to take mine do to ulcers I’m scared to take them idk what to do now 😢
Could not get my doctor to understand why I want to stop taking ppi. I have decreased usage by losing weight and avoiding foods like tomato sauce and onions. Only take it at night . But I want to get off totally. Why would doctors think it's a good idea to just take this for the rest of life. Can't see past the next visit.
4% seems to indicate high number of unreported complaints.
Chest pain, anxiety, panick attacks, insomnia, stomach pain, feels like you are going to faint or going crazy! Don’t take it!
That didn’t happen to me
Yep this happened to me
So should I continue drinking this as my medication? If they have a side effects? What is the best medication for us? Thanks for answering my question... Thanks
I am currently weaning off of omeprazole. Pray for me.
How’s it going? (5/19/2024)
@@cydkriletich6538 well, I was doing okay but I really had to watch what I eat. Basically everything I ate was causing problems. I started taking the other pill but tbh the ups and downs were troublesome. I make my own kefir, so I was using that as well as improving my diet.
I ended up going back to omeprazole abotu a month ago after a lot of thought and consideration. The amount of burning in my esophagus was troubling and my doctor said the constant inflammation can cause even worse problems, like cancer. I really didn't want to go back after reading so many negative comments but I think for me, if I can take one 10mg pill per day, and all the pain, the constant burps, and everything else is calm and painless, I'm just going to take it.
I'm not one to take pills, and I try to do my own research as well as listen to my doctor, who I really trust bc she listens to me and doesn't push me to take anything. Omeprazole is best for me.
I will.
I’ve been on pantoprazole for over 10 years with none of these problems.
Same here I love it helps me with my heartburn 💯💯💯💯💯
This is great information and so easy to understand. Thank you. Do you recommend taking magnesium supplements to help replace the possible loss ?
I have been taking Pantoprazole for the last 10 years. I take citracal slow release 1200mg. Its a calcium carbonate and citrate replacement with D3.
Everyone that is complaining in here ya old works great for me 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Do you have any idea why most patients have no problem going cold turkey - just quitting ppi, while others get horrible withdrawal symptoms? I've been trying to quit for 9 years, but I got the worst acid reflux of my life when I simply didn't take the ppi for 2 days. The doctors couldn't or wouldn't help. In the end I found an internet page, where people like me self-helped each other. Now I've been taking omeprazol in capsules since 2017, which I open and gradually remove one bullet of the medication per 3 weeks or something. Now I'm taking under 5 mg daily, and still I get mild withdrawal ever time I reduce. What is that? Most doctors don't even believe me.
I wish I knew my gerd was caused by sleep apnea. I have a cpap now and no longer snoring all night. It helps a lot. I am weaning off the omeprazole within the last 2 weeks.
Thank you for a very informative video. Much appreciated. From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Ok. Been taking prevacid for several years. How hard is it to just stop taking it.. just took over the counter. Not prescription. Thanks
I’m dealing with memory loss on Pantoprazole. It’s getting a bit scary. It’s periodic but it’s there.
I had Nissen fundoplication & large hiatal hernia repair done many years ago, but I still take 30mg of omeprazole daily. Wonder if I need it any longer?
How to get rid off from swelling in legs?? This swelling is cause due to usage of pantaprazol tablets
I take this for my GERD. As I'm a singer so I need my voice to be en forme and in shape.
Ugh singing must be so difficult when your gerd is flaring up. I can barely speak normal sometimes.
Appreciated 😊
Great information. The only problem is the 4% this and 4% that side effects
Ya, I don’t think some people watching this video see or understand your point. It’s a good point. With every medical intervention, you have to weigh the risk of intervening versus the risk of not intervening. They just see the risk and think…I must stop this. And then they’re at a greater risk for stomach or esophageal cancer.
But what about short term use? No longer than 12 weeks then tapper off? I have gastritis and started this medicine 2 weeks ago and has relieved so much of my symptoms(HORRIBLE INTENSE stomach burning, nausea, sternum pain, vomit taste in throat, sour feeling in stomach, gurgling stomach, reflux)Definitely not 100 percent better, but with eating bland, cutting out coffee soda spicy food, and taking this medication short term, I’m hoping to be healed or on the road to healing within 2-3 months so I can get off of it. I’m already starting to feel a little better once I cut out coffee soda and started this medicine.
Only a matter of time when your arms start getting bruised and you can start going to the doctor and they say oh you need to be on some antibiotics and then one day you’ll get C-Diff then you will figure out that all this was from these drugs that this guy is talking about. Then you’ll try to get off of them and you’ll have deep bone and muscle deep pain So severe, you can’t sit down to the toilet, or jump on your bed get into your car without Tremendous pain.
Nicely explained
Started taking pantropazole 1st month was ok took about 2 weeks for it to kick in, was ok for about 3 months then i started to get headaches and dizziness,now i see those are sideeffects from it,goingto talk to my Dr and see if i should continue taking them,will update after‐-----
Update been off pantropazole for 3 weeks now i feel good if i do go out drinks/foods that i know are going to be acidic I'll take a pepcid 1hr before and my symtoms dont show up.
I was prescribed this because I had heart palpitations at night. Cardiologist said that it was due to GERD. I'm seeing all the side effects and I'm terrified. I have two children that I need to take care of and the thought of the side effects. Hindering my ability to breathe over my head hurting. It's just frustrating like the whole point is wanting to feel better and the side effects kind of sound scary. I'm so depressed
Use famotidine if that help it's safer for you@@VeronicaHernandez-od6kz
Can they cause low sodium my dad has severe thirst don’t know if it’s from these tablets he’s got hyponitemea
With all of these side affects why even approve this medication
Is not for everyone works great for me
Exactly, This is why I researched any new medications prescribed to me☝️💯👍
I was on Pantoprazole for several years > 7, and then I was able to wean myself off it when I realized that it had all these side effects my digestion in general was slow. Last week, I was treated for a bleeding duodenum ulcer and I was again prescribed pantoprazole 40mg 2x daily for a month. Do these long-term effects continue once you have discontinued the use of it, and if so, after how long does your body recuperate? thanks!
Does this apply to famotidine as well?
Worse medication ever. I was on both and it nearly killed and blinded me. I am still struggling with sight issues.
@@fineboyads7622you were on what??? Pantoprazole? Please tell me
Is omeprazole an atibiotics?
I was on Omeprazole for 2 weeks. Dizziness and extreme weakness, thought i was going to faint the one day. 10 days later and still have light Dizziness and some weakness.
Did you stop the medication? Did the dizziness go away?
@speaklife4581 yes but it took a few days.
@@sabinelloyd8532 thank you 😊
I have been taking them over 20 years no side effects with them
That’s good to know I’ve been taking it for almost 2 years now it’s helped me tremendously was wondering about long-term use
You were the first person I've seen that hasn't had any side effects. I was told to take them because I m getting heart palpitations at night and my cardiologist said he thinks it's because I'm overweight and I have GERD. He said taking these pills and losing weight it should go away
Honestly bro I don’t think it’s from weight, I weight 138 and dealing with chronic GERD.
I been taking for 15 years and nothing I eat whatever I want
Same eat healthy food and you be happy works wonders for me 💯💯💯💯💯
Video starts at 1:36.
Ok so besides ppi what can i use
Thankyou
Absolutely killed my stomach,was given omeprazole to take along with naproxen, both have destroyed my stomach
What horrible drugs. I take an antidepressant and something for hypertension. I recently had terrible, painful swelling of the thumb and firt two fingers. Local dr diagnosed carpal tunnel injury. Prescribed pregabalin and Omeprazole. Within a day I lost control of both bladder and bowels. Considering the drastic side effects,why prescribe them at all. Now I also have strange swollen areas on my legs and groin. I never had
How about kidney damage?
I can't get off the stuff
No wonder I have so much itching..I’m done with this med.
Feeling crawling in my forehead
Same
Man and my gastro doctor wanted me to take this for the rest of my life to treat my EOE. Screw that. For my kidneys alone I told her no and now I have a much safer medicine that I swallow and it coats the inside of my throat. It’s so odd she would try these instead of something much safer.
What medicine would that be if you don’t mind sharing?
Hello what is the safer medicine you are taking?
@@ReapingTheHarvest famotidine
And what about lansoprazole?
All prazole same medicine
It is very hard to understand you if there’s a terrible reverb
Easier to call it Protonix, for me it has helped. It does kind of give you a small migraine, bt for the most part it helped me with the stomach pain. When i first had the reflux in January I was taking Omeprazole the side effect was realing crazy because it was like one of those altered side effect almost as if i was experiencing someones strange "happy" expressive behavior without expressing it basically i felt like waving happy out the window stuff that i never do. So after that i found it really strange so i took it like 4 times and then stopped because i disliked the side effect so protonix is like a stomach pain focused. You wont feel the side effect i explain with omneprazole kind of helps you get oxygen be want to be active. When i got sick they diagnosed me with relfux bt i wasnt sure how i got sick...very hard to explain i tried to explain this in the video i posted
I use it to treat my gastritis. But, I have leg, arm and mouth spasms. And I have fallen twice from the leg spasms.
Perkethe Shqip si te te kuptojm????!!!?
Can it cause liver damage?
No just get blood work is not for everybody
Don't eat spicy foods or fried
You can have all of these symptoms with irritable bowel or with inflammatory bowel disease
Prescription Pantoprazole caused severe pain in my peter 🍆 and foot 🦶🏾10/10 and also abnormal sleepiness. Yes I have been tested for stds, and stis all are negative. I would rather have my abdominal pain and heartburn back than this. And to think my doctor stated there would be no side effects smh. Therefore, I would not recommend Pantoprazole, feels like my peter is about to fall off, try at your own risk. ⚠️ ‼️
Why PanTop cause Skin Redness and Hives ???? Any specific reason??? Anyone know??
If anyone suffer from gerd .there is no other option except ppi.

I know this pill is small but damn it was hard to swallow
Anyone got brain fogs and speech issues while in this med?
Doesn't it seem a little hokey that they are all exactly 4 percent?!
Why are all the side effects 4%😂
My advice don't take it. Sort you problem with natural means. I did. It's easy the info is here on you tube. Do your research and put into practice, it's simple. Stop popping pills and take control. Be responsible for your own health.
Good, but you missed a lot of the mental issues.
Your pronunciation is incorrect.
Americans need to learn to enunciate and speak more slowly if they want to be understood by the widest audience. I can understand any British accent but parts of this were difficult to understand.
Now to PPIs: I started taking omeprazole many years ago, and then switched to pantoprazole before I retired about 10 years ago, and despite that I still suffer from excess stomach acidity.
Most of the conditions you mentioned as side effects, such as headaches, gastrointestinal problems, osteoporosis and spinal fractures, all predate taking PPIs, and have not changed since, except that I probably suffer fewer headaches and gut proglems seem to be in remission. I'm not sure about dementia, because although I believe I am losing my mind, tests indicate otherwise.
Please speak clearly. Your voice comes out garbled. Stop murmuring.
Exactly....try to use better Mic 🎤
Get better ears. He's completely understandable for me even at 1.5x speed.
Ong, turn on the CC closed caption. Could you read it if you can't hear or understand it clearly?
RUDE!
@@hoytbangs9425 - Who cares? The point still stands, but because of a mic issue.
Don't be weak & quick to take offense.
Pantoprazole & Omeprazole along with a weight factor & a recovering immune system (from hypomagnesia caused by these drugs) are what made my covid so bad back in 2019.
I was taking them on & off, alternating, for nearly a year & my GERD slowly got worse, not better.
What did ultimately fix it was a TIF procedure for what also turned out to be a hiatal hernia & Barrett's esophagus. The reflux stopped immediately & I haven't had a problem since the surgery back in March of 2021.
(I never caught any other covid strains, only the initial alpha strain, while being in & out of doctor's offices or the hospital for tests & the surgery.)
I'm curious how you know you had covid when the tests for it have been proven to be faulty. I'm also curious what happened to the flu, common cold, and other illnesses during that time. They magically disappeared 🤷♂️
