Brief Answer:
would need prescription

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
Pantoprazole is Protonix and it is one of the few acid blocker medications that is not yet over the counter in the US so to get it you would need to see a physician and get a prescription.
Similar drugs that are over the counter are prilosec OTC and nexium OTC, and prevacid OTC.
Please let me know if you have further questions
