What is the most important information I should know about
pantoprazole sodium delayed-release
tablets?
You should take pantoprazole sodium delayed-release tablets exactly as
prescribed, at the lowest dose
possible and for the shortest time needed.
Pantoprazole sodium delayed-release tablets may help your acid-related
symptoms, but you could still
have serious stomach problems. Talk with your doctor.
Pantoprazole sodium delayed-release tablets can cause serious side
effects, including:
•
A type of kidney problem (acute interstitial nephritis). Some people
who take proton pump
inhibitor (PPI) medicines, including pantoprazole, may develop a
kidney problem called acute
interstitial nephritis that can happen at any time during treatment
with pantoprazole sodium
delayed-release tablets. Call your doctor right away if you have a
decrease in the amount that you
urinate or if you have blood in your urine.
•
Diarrhea caused by an infection (Clostridium difficile) in your
intestines. Call your doctor right
away if you have watery stools or stomach pain that does not go away.
You may or may not have a
fever.
•
Bone fractures (hip, wrist or spine). Bone fractures in the hip,
wrist, or spine may happen in people
who take multiple daily doses of PPI medicines and for a long period
of time (a year or longer).
Tell your doctor if you have a bone fracture, especially in the hip,
wrist, or spine.
•
Certain types of lupus erythematosus. Lupus erythematosus is an
autoimmune disorder (the body’s
immune cells attack other cells or organs in the body). Some people
who take PPI medicines,
including pantoprazole sodium delayed-release tablets, may develop
certain types of lupus
erythematosus or have worsening of the lupus they already have. Call
your doctor right away if you
have new or worsening joint pain or a rash on your cheeks or arms that
gets worse in the sun.
Talk to your doctor about your risk of these
