What is Pantoprazole?

Pantoprazole and the brand name Protonix are used to treat erosive esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions which involve excess stomach acid. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor which decreases the amount of acid that is produced by your stomach and can relieve symptoms including heartburn, persistent cough or difficulty swallowing.
