Patient Stories

...that's right, I was practically standing up. I put 2x4's under my mattress to keep my head up in order to keep my heartburn down. My wife really loved that one. My heartburn was turning into a real nightmare. It was time to see my doctor."

Everybody has a different experience with acid reflux disease. For some people experiencing heartburn at night is very common. Try to eat meals at least 3 hours before going to bed and avoid any foods that may trigger your heartburn.

For many people with acid reflux disease, just one Prevacid a day can help prevent the acid that causes heartburn pain. And since people have different needs with regard to treating heartburn associated with acid reflux disease, Prevacid comes in two different forms: one that's a pill and one that melts in your mouth to help treat heartburn and many other kinds of symptoms related to acid reflux disease.

Prescription Prevacid is approved for GERD in children aged 1–17 years. Individual results may vary. Prevacid Capsules and Prevacid SoluTab^TM (lansoprazole) Orally Disintegrating Tablets may not be right for everyone. Prevacid has a low occurrence of side effects in adults and children including diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, constipation and headache. Symptom relief does not rule out other serious stomach conditions.

Please see the complete Prescribing Information for more information and talk to your child's doctor.
