Pantoprazole Pill

Updated

Been on Protonix/Pantoprazole for a few years. Pill appearance often changes from oblong tan color, round tan color and now white oblong. What is up with that? Any change to effectiveness, complications?

Well, I can't really tell you anything about them, without knowing the specific markings on them, however, what is most likely happening is that they are just manufactured by different companies.

Most pharmacies will order from whatever company is offering the cheapest price, when they need to restock. This is how they keep their prices as low as possible for uninsured customers.

The medication remains the same, it's just the appearance that's different.

Have you tried asking your pharmacist?

Pharmacy person stated that although the color was different because they purchased through a different company, the ingredients are exactly the same. I have not taken the new prescription but I will try is for a few days and will let you know what the effects were, if any.
