What is Prevacid?

Prevacid is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Its generic name is lansoprazole. Prevacid is primarily used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid production, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Dosage: Prevacid comes in various forms, including capsules, orally disintegrating tablets, and oral suspension. The dosage depends on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition, and individual response to the medication. It's essential to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage.

Administration: Prevacid capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, usually before eating. For orally disintegrating tablets, they should be placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve, followed by drinking water. The oral suspension should be mixed with water, and the entire mixture should be taken immediately.

Timing: Prevacid is often taken once daily, preferably in the morning before breakfast. It's crucial to take it at the same time each day for the best results.

Common side effects of Prevacid may include:

  • Headache
  • Nausea

  • Signs of kidney problems (change in the amount of urine)

If you experience any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.

I've been a Canadian Med Center customer for about 6 years now. In all that time there was never once that I considered taking my business elsewhere. They do a great job and the people they contract with are also super.
