Medicines have benefits and risks. The risks are the chances that something unwanted or unexpected could happen to you when you use them. You can protect yourself by searching summaries of recent safety Protonix alerts and medication adverse reports. Search for documented Protonix side effects on the label or the drug's package insert. You may also want to speak with your pharmacist or healthcare provider. Sometimes there are risks that only come to light after a medical product gets on the market and is used in a larger number of patients, for a longer period of time, and in patients whose health characteristics are different from those of the patients studied before approval.
