Andersonfam2018 0 Posted March 25, 2018 Dr said to not take a whole pill bigger than a Bc pill. So I crush the protonix? Even though the labeling says not to crush it?? I’m confused! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XYZXYZXYZ1955 675 Posted March 25, 2018 If you don't have any trouble swallowing it whole, that's what I'd do. It's a fairly small pill . . . and, disclaimer, I was taking all my pills whole from the get-go, even the bigger Calcium and D3 pills. Recent blood work was all very good. 1 Andersonfam2018 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m confused!I started taking pills the day after surgery. Started with ones about the size of a dime to nickel and started taking horse pills without splitting them about 1-2 weeks out but only cause I was scared. They were no problem. 1 Andersonfam2018 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewJerseyMom 3 Posted March 31, 2018 Protonix is an extended release medicine, so it shouldn't be crushed. Thanking are pretty small, so they are easy to swallow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
