Has anyone else had severe reactions to Pantoprazole Sod 40mg Injection? I was given this for severe heartburn. It helped, but the side effects were brutal. I experienced severe diarrhea and muscle cramps. I had to stop taking it. What should I do?

I feel the side effects are often overstated. That's not to downplay your experience, but I've been on this for years and haven't had any major issues. This medicine is great.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's awful when medication that's supposed to help ends up making things worse. You should definitely speak with your doctor about this. Sometimes switching to a different class of drugs (like H2 blockers) can help. Mine has really helped with my reflux.

I've had severe diarrhea and vomiting with this. It was awful. My doctor switched me to something else and I haven't had any problems since. Be careful and definitely listen to your body.

I had a similar experience with severe side effects. I had to switch to a different medication because the side effects were too much.

My body didn't react well to this. It made my skin itchy and I had trouble swallowing. It was miserable. I switched to a different medication and it never happened again.

I had a similar experience but not that severe. I also had some muscle cramps and a few headaches but I toughed it out. My doctor said it's common at first and to just monitor.

I had a bad reaction to something else - had to go to the ER for 3 days. Stay away from this stuff. My doctor switched me to something else and I haven't looked back. Just do what your body needs.

That's horrible. I've heard of severe side effects with Pantoprazole but didn't realize they could be that bad. Have you talked to your doctor about alternate medication? Omeprazole has worked for me for years with no side effects.
