Yes, Pantoprazole aka Protonix
is commonly used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
She must be concerned you won't be able to handle the prednisone on an empty stomach.

Yes, prednisone causes a lot of side affects as you may know and stomach issues is one my doctor was trying to prevent. From what I’ve read, and from talking to my doctor, prednisone should NOT be taken on an empty stomach and the buffer medication is further protection.
