Patient Stories

...especially when I didn't know what the problem was or how to fix it. But then I noticed my son was not just complaining about his tummy, he was also throwing up frequently. I called his doctor who said that it could be something serious."

If your child suffers from recurrent symptoms such as vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, coughing, or has trouble swallowing, it could be a condition known as Pediatric GERD. Only your child's doctor can diagnose this condition.

Prevacid is approved for use in children as young as 12 months. It not only treats symptoms of Pediatric GERD, but also heals the damage, known as erosive esophagitis, that can be associated with the condition. Individual results may vary. The good news is this is the same Prevacid that has been used to treat millions of adults. It can be taken in two forms including strawberry-flavored Prevacid SoluTab that melts in the mouth—it's designed to be easy for them and easy for you. Talk to your pediatrician today and ask if Prevacid is right for your child.

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.
