Protonix to Kaye

[Guest guest]

Hi Kaye,

Never mind on the link regarding Protonix.. I did find it on the Wyeth website

as an Post-marketing report. You'd think with all the money the drug companys

spend to develope them....and we do need them...that they would have all the

info on them BEFORE marketing them.

And I think it was you who said (sorry if I got that wrong) that your doctor

ought to know more about the drug before they prescribe it for you. Well, they

just subscribe you to whatever drug company gives them the best kickback. Our

doctors don't always have the time to research the med for our specific illness

and disease. I think thats our job. And thats my opinion.

Some people can take contra-indicated meds with absolutly NO ILL EFFECT at all

while others can not take them with the same results. That goes back to every

person and every body being different. What works well for one may not work for

another.

Thanks for the info,

Sandy in Ca

Protonix does caused pancreatitis as well as hepato-biliary

problems. So if you have sphincter of Oddi, that is a double whammy

far as I am concerned.

I know it's a shot in the dark, but if you stop taking it, and it is

what is causing the problem, will it stop or is the damage permanent?

protonix. I have looked and cannot find where it says specifically

about pancreatitis and SOD. I'd sure like to read about this. :-)

I also have SOD.
