PROTONIX is a type of medicine called a proton pump inhibitor, or PPI. While it may sound complicated, it's not. It simply means PROTONIX turns off many of the acid-producing pumps in your stomach to maintain a lower level of acid there.
Healing and symptom relief.
PROTONIX does more than reduce the level of acid in your stomach. Taken once daily in the morning, PROTONIX 40 mg has been proven to help control daytime and even nighttime symptoms in patients with erosive acid reflux disease. And it can actually heal sores in the esophagus caused by erosive acid reflux disease.
Doctors found that in a 12-month clinical study involving patients with healed erosive acid reflux disease who were treated with PROTONIX 40 mg, 93% of nights were heartburn-free and 94% of days were free from acid regurgitation.1,2 Individual results may vary. These are facts worth knowing.
