There are prescription digestive enzymes like Pancrease and Pancrease MT that come in different strengths. If you have insurance you could ask your doctor to prescribe these and save allot of money. Plus you’ll know what your getting is the real thing and the dosage will be right for you.

I took 40mg 1x/day protonix for two weeks. It did not stop my early morning acid burn. I wonder if it was the reason I was experiencing irregular heart rhythms. I am also on Vivelle Dot HRT which may not be a good combination with the Protonix. Any ideas on this?
