Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
On a new drug and concerned about side affects when I read how many there are associated with Pantoprazole. I like wine with dinner so wondered about that too. I had a ct scan this week. It was normal. I had a 4cm tear in my diaphragm repaired 10 years ago laparoscopic and mesh and had upper abdominal pain. The concern here with upper abdominal pain was it torn again and organs going through tear. I don t want to end up in emergency with a strangulation again. Honestly, second day of taking this new pill and the pain is less. Could be the normal ct scan result but I don t think so.
Hello. pantoprazole is a safe drug with very minimal side effects. On a short term of less than a month, there are hardly any side effects. On a long term some common side effects reported are- Nausea, Headache, Abdominal pain, Constipation, Flatulence, Diarrhoea.
But nevertheless nothing to worry. With regards- Dr Sanjay Kini
