PROTONIX IV VIAL (PANTOPRAZOLE)

Protonix IV Vial Description

Protonix IV Vial may be part of your therapy in hospital for treating peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB). For those in intensive care units that may be, or are at risk for, experiencing upper gastrointestinal bleeding, Protonix IV Vial is also effective as a preventive therapy to avoid rebleeding and cut down on the time patients have to stay in ICU, and especially beneficial if a patient has difficulty swallowing. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Treat/Prevent Acid Reflux

Protonix IV Vial or generic Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug that is given through a vein at a controlled dose for a short-term period of 7 to 10 days. Once administered, the active ingredient will block the acid-producing enzyme found in your stomach wall. As the amount of acid is reduced, any sores or lesions in your esophagus, stomach, and the first part of your small intestine called the duodenum will have time to heal.

A weakened lower esophageal sphincter (LES) allows acidic stomach juices to back into your esophagus and can cause peptic ulcers. For many with gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) that may be limited in their ability to sit upright due to surgery or injury, Protonix IV Vial can be a part of their preventive therapy to keep the acid production down.

Conditions Treated by Protonix IV Vial

Gastric acid has to be able to break down the food you eat so your body is able to absorb it easily. If this powerful juice is able to escape back into your esophagus on a regular basis, you could experience not only the painful burning-lava sensation in your throat, but you may develop a cough or wheeze and your voice may become hoarse as a result of inflammation and other damage from the gastric fluid rising up. Protonix IV Vial may be administered while in hospital and followed with an oral medication once you are home.

Before Protonix IV Vial is Administered

Ask your doctor if there are risks associated to treatment with Protonix while you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any current OTC or Rx drugs you take or use, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements to determine if Protonix IV Vial is safe for you.

Protonix IV Vial Proper Use

If you have been taught how to treat yourself at home with Protonix IV Vial, do not change the dosage to be administered and learn how and where to properly discard the used vials, syringes, and needles. Never share this or any of your medications with others. Until you know how Protonix IV Vial will affect you, avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing any task that may be unsafe. Keep Pantoprazole and other medications safely stored out of children’s reach.
