| Uses |
| | |
| | Prevacid is used to treat
various acid-related stomach and/or throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., acid reflux
or GERD, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome). Prevacid
may also be used to treat ulcers due to long-term use of certain pain/anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs). Lansoprazole works by blocking acid production in the stomach.
This medication may be used in combination with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin,
clarithromycin) to treat certain types of ulcers. | | | |
| Directions |

| | Take Prevacid by mouth, usually
once daily, before a meal; or as directed by your doctor. The dosage and length

swallowing this medication whole, the capsule may be opened and the contents sprinkled

amount (2 oz or 60 ml) of juice and taken as directed. Rinse the container with
an additional small amount of juice and drink the contents to make sure the entire
dose is taken. Do not chew the food/medication mixture or prepare a supply in
advance. Doing so may destroy the drug and/or increase side effects. To prepare
