Hi, protonix is anti ulcer drug, chemically called pantoprazole, it inhibits secretion of gastric acid in stomach hence heals ulcer in the stomach which might be responsible for causing bleeding.

It is highly efficacious drug for treatment of ulcers in stomach as it can inhibit up to 100% of acid secretion. For more information visit http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/protonix.htm
