Comment:
I wholeheartedly agree with the other reviews. I have taken Protonix for 3 years with wonderful results. I have taken this generic for almost 3 weeks and have slight heart burn daily. I'm going back to Protonix for results. I too liked the price but if the symptoms return, it's not worth it.

Comment:
I've been on Protonix for 5 years now and the pharmacy randomly gave me the generic. Sure I was excited at the price, but I've been getting nautious, and I never had that with Protonix. I think I'm going to ask for a switch as well. I see I'm not alone so that's a good thing.

I do have excessive gas however and that is why I am on-line tonight to see if this is common with this drug, or if it's realted to another condition of mine. Jury is still out out that one since this drug is so new.
