What To Avoid When Taking Pantoprazole (& Omeprazole) | Foods, Natural Supplements, Medications

Pantoprazole (along with Omeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD; acid reflux) to reduce acid reflux or “heartburn” symptoms. These medications inhibit proton pumps, leading to reduced acidification of the stomach. However, reducing the acidification of the stomach can lead to particular side effects. Additionally, certain foods, beverages, substances, herbal medications, and prescription medications can interact with pantoprazole (and other PPIs) to cause increased side effects.
