In elderly patients, the use of PROTONIX (pantoprazole) can lead to side effects similar to those in the general population, such as headache, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and dizziness. However, older adults may be more susceptible to certain adverse effects, including an increased risk of fractures, especially with long-term use, and potential vitamin B12 deficiency. It is important for healthcare providers to monitor elderly patients closely for any unusual symptoms or complications.For further consultation, you can contact us at our toll-free number, 1-800-891-0844, or chat with us online.
