What is prevacid????
prevacid or lansoprazole, is used to treat acid reflux and ulcers. usually once people start taking this or anything similar, like prilosec(omeprazole), they continue for rest of their life. some studies have shown that prevacid can actually “undo”some of the effects of the acid on the esophagus. coffee, pop,basically caffiene are two of the greatest triggers of acid reflux.

Well I think I can help you cause I am a FT Pharmacy Technician, so any ???? about medication just ask.Prevacid is mainly used for heartburn, ulcers, and most used for acid reflux disease.Prevacid helps heal gastric ulcers (stomach ulcers), duodenal ulcers (ulcers in the first part of the small intestine), and even stomach ulcers caused by the continuous use of certain medications called NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen).PREVPAC® (lansoprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin… is a multiple-drug treatment that reduces the risk of duodenal ulcers from returning by eliminating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)—the bacteria believed to cause the majority of duodenal ulcers.Common symptoms of acid reflux disease:Acid reflux disease is a complex condition with many degrees of severity, ranging from symptoms only (symptomatic acid reflux disease) to erosive esophagitis. However, the most common symptom of acid reflux disease is persistent heartburn. Other symptoms may include: A sour taste in your mouthDifficulty swallowingCoughing or hoarsenessBelching or regurgitationAnd even chest pain not related to your heart.
