What Are The Risks Of Taking Pantoprazole For More Than Ten Days?
Hi. I recently was prescribed Pantoprazole, 20mg. The instrctions are to take two tablets daily for one month, then one tablet daily for one month, then to stop. What are the side affects? I just read where this is used to for short term treatment for GERD of less than 10 days. What are the risk for taking it more than 10 days?

Hi,
No danger. Side effects are there for this drug and if we are looking for whatever the side effects are there and give importance to it, then you won't be able to treat the disease for what it is being advised. So, here the side effects are not important, but to cure the disease is mandatory.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
