Prevacid Heals the Damage

Over time, acid reflux can cause damage to your esophagus, known as erosive esophagitis. Prevacid helps prevent acid at the source. That is why Prevacid can help heal the damage to your esophagus and stop it from coming back, if prescribed. Your results may vary.

Healing takes time. Prevacid's effectiveness in healing damage known as erosive esophagitis is clinically proven. Though individual results may vary, up to 95% of patients with erosive esophagitis who were taking Prevacid had healed by their 8th week. In fact, Prevacid has healed damage even in many difficult-to-treat patients for whom some other acid-reducing treatments have failed. Most erosions heal within 4–8 weeks.

Healing the damage to your esophagus is important. But did you know that for many people, it's just as important to maintain the healing? Without treatment, up to 87% of patients may have a relapse and suffer damage again within a year, even when previous damage was successfully healed.*

Only your doctor can diagnose acid reflux disease and determine if your esophagus has been damaged.

Prevacid is not just an acid reflux disease treatment. Prevacid is approved for more acid-related conditions than any other medicine in its class. Prevacid is prescribed for: relief of heartburn associated with acid reflux disease, the healing of erosions in your esophagus, and the treatment of certain types of ulcers.
