clinic Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) My pdoc told me to take acidity med(pantoprazole) daily along with lexapro(escitalopram). Pantoprazole is a Proton-pump inhibitor. But im worried about long term side effects of pantoprazole. Stomach acid plays a role in killing ingested bacteria. Use of pantoprazole may increase the chance of developing infections such as pneumonia, particularly in hospitalized patients.

sming Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Sounds dubious to me, I've never heard that recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notloki Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I assume lexapro is causing some GI upset ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
