Does PROTONIX help control even my nighttime erosive acid reflux disease?
For acid reflux sufferers, the nighttime can be particularly troublesome. In studies, PROTONIX 40 mg was proven to control daytime and even nighttime symptoms of erosive acid reflux disease and help heal erosive damage in the esophagus.
Does PROTONIX work differently than Tums® and Maalox®?
Yes, and here's how. PROTONIX is a proton pump inhibitor. Unlike antacids that simply neutralize stomach acid, PROTONIX shuts down many of the pumps in the stomach that produce acid.
Why is it so important to keep taking PROTONIX as prescribed?
If you stop taking PROTONIX before your doctor recommends, the erosions in your esophagus may remain unhealed and your symptoms may return. So stay on PROTONIX as prescribed to heal and maintain healing.
