It's just the last thing I want to do is retain any more water I am just now getting down to my weight before I gained weight on methadone ## Hello, Angela! How are you? Pantoprazole has been known to cause peripheral edema, which is fluid retention that may result in some weight gain, according to FDA reports. You may also experience headache, dizziness, stomach pain, diarrhea, and flatulence. Has your doctor confirmed that your weight gain was due to fluid? Have you ever been prescribed a diuretic to remove the excess fluid from your body?

is weight gain a side effect of this drug? ## Hi e, Interestingly enough, weight gain is actually considered to be a rare side effect of Pantoprazole. It's not listed as a side effect on any of the government websites, but various other articles state this to be so. How long have you been taking it for? ## does pantoprazole make your breast larger ## A friend of mine was telling me the doctor gave this to him about 12 days ago, and he got a large 4 inch itchy swelling on his forearm. His pinky toe swelled up and is so itchy and red. Anyone had a side effect like this? What could cause this?

I was wondering if by using the drug Tecta if it causes weight gain or causes bloating or retaining water? ## From what I can find, this contains the active ingredient Pantoprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, ulcers, GERD and Gastritis. And it can cause some gas and bloating, as a side effect, however, it is rarely known to cause water retention, but it has happened in some people. Have you contacted your doctor? If it is causing you to experience fluid retention, you will probably need to try a different medication. ## I was taking tecta and have also been stablized of methadone for 20 years..When taking the tecta it almost killed me combined with the methadone.

I've been taking Tecta for more than one year, have been experiencing weight gain, bloating, sugar cravings, and having hip pain. Also, my overactive bladder seems to have worsened. I didn't have any problems when taking Zantac, but was switched by my doctor to Tecta. Can this medication be stopped abruptly, or will I need to taper off it? ## Always taper off ...

my husband has always had a little shaking hands. but now that he is on these 2 new meds he is shaking so badly he has a hard time writing anything and his hands jerk so badly it is not hidable. He is also on methadone, lisinopril, effexxor, and pantoprazole. ## Divalproex can cause that as a side effect, according to the FDA, along with nausea, mood changes, weight gain, and memory loss. Has he informed his doctor? He may need to try a different medication, or try something to help alleviate the tremors.

Why is PAN D Capsule prescribed for ## I can't find anything listed under this, what country was it obtained in? ## PAN-D is reported to contain the active ingredients Domperidone + Pantoprazole, which are used to suppress nausea and vomiting and for short-term treatment of erosion and ulceration of the esophagus caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease, respectively.
