| Add Lansoprazole review This med has worked as well as the Prevacid that my insurance company no longer covers. I received a special allowance for coverage by participating in a study. I do not have any of the listed side effects. I am concerned about my long term usage. I have been on a proton pump inhibitor now for 6 years. Nexium almost killed me. I will be checking my bone density soon. Magnesium levels have been fine, but I do take a multivite regularly. Never changed my diet, occasional drink, no break-through. I am on 30 mg daily, take it in the morning with my coffee. My esophagus healed with little to no scarring. Due for another scoping, and researching the magnetic bead ring for permanent, medicine free relief. I still get heartburn but not as bad but the prevacid was the best!!!! Causing constipation and isn't the best for heartburn. Which I could go back to the REAL heartburn medicine!! | Add Pantoprazole review I did very well on Protonix. I was switched to pantopropozole and my condition got steadily worse. I had an endoscopy to look for cancer. They found some signs of Barretts Esophagus. I thought sure that I was in big trouble. After doing an internet search, I came upon these reviews and insisted the doctor switch me back to Protonix. I took the prescription to CVS and they tried to change it to Pan ... been on this med for two months..pantoprazole 40mg....cough and clearing of throat stopped for awhile and is now back.also throat is hurts...does anyone else have a problem with throat hurting...I would really like to know..email is ; yankeejo_al@yahoo.com...thank you Stop my GURD w/i 2 days I have been taking this drug for six months and have had no side effects or related problems. It has stopped my reflux, dry cough and swallowing difficulties and I'm very satisfied. I was satisfied and comfortable for a while and then developed excessive gas, belching and diarrhea, which got so bad I've quit taking it altogether. | |||
