How PROTONIX Works

So, where does the acid in acid reflux disease come from? It's produced in your stomach. And while it's supposed to stay in your stomach, it sometimes doesn't.

When you have acid reflux disease, the acid flows up into your esophagus where it can result in heartburn and other uncomfortable symptoms. More importantly, though, it can cause damage in the form of sores or erosions to develop in your esophagus.

Lowers acid levels.

PROTONIX shuts down many of the stomach's acid-producing pumps to help maintain a lower level of acid. A reduced level of acid in your stomach can mean there is less acid to travel into your esophagus and cause damage.
