Is it allowed to take Pantoprazole during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Due to a high serum-protein-binding capacity, excretion into breast milk is non-significant without side-effects among breastfed infants from treated mothers. Since it's neutralized by the acid pH of stomach, capsules with enteric coated granules are used. Because of this, it is thought that the small quantity of Pantoprazole that may reach the breast milk would be neutralized by infant's stomach. In addition, absorption is greatly decreased by the presence of food. No effect on Prolactin secretion has been observed. Other formulations of Pantoprazole without anti-acid protection are destroyed in the stomach.

This medicine is the only one so far that has worked for me. Been on it 2.5 weeks and only draw back is getting tingling and numbness in lips and left cheek.

Was given this generic medication instead of name brand protonix. It is not effective at all for my symptoms! After a weeks use all my symptoms are back! Burning pain. Would leave no stars but would not let me. I have used protonix for last 5 years with no symptoms!

I took Prilosec for years and my doc suggested this and it works far far better. Wish I had started it 10 years ago.

I see that it is recommneded to stop taking this drug after 8 weeks unless otherwise directed. I have been taking this for almost 6 months - once a day. I am now experiencing some of the side effects mentioned,especially the diaherra and muscle aches. I am going to stop using for a few weeks and see if it eases these side effects.
