My cardiologist switched me from Nexium to Pantoprazole in anticipation of taking Camzyos. When I gave the speciality pharmacist my list of meds, she said Pantoprazole was fine. If you put it into Drugs.Com it indicates a moderate interaction rather than major.

I am on currently on Diltiazem and my Dr. took me to overlap the two drugs for two weeks because he wants the Camzyos to build up in my system. I am taking the Camzyos in the morning and the Diltiazem in the evening. This is only my second day. So I have only overlapped the meds for one day. The experience of another member of our group was that the positive effects of Camzyos were felt after only a few days and they were told to stop a med similar to Diltiazem 2 weeks before they started Camzyos. So I am being mindful that I may not need to take both for two weeks.

I think cardiologist and pharmacist are still figuring the interactions out and while you shouldn’t ignore their advice you have to listen to your body and let them know what is working and what is not.

I really appreciate you bringing Pantoprazole to my attention. I had assumed it was fine. While Bristol Myers Squibb has a list of meds that are counter indicated, the DrugRX site identifies additional meds that are not on the BMS list of meds that are not recommended.

Trust but verify!
