Hi
Pantoprazole is used to reduce acid secretion in ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux patients.Mild dizziness,headache and abdominal pain can occur as side effects.Kindly confirm diverticulosis diagnosis since it can cause abdominal pain.If normal, rabeprazole or other proton pump inhibitors can be taken instead of pantoprazole.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
