People Feel It In
Different Ways

Acid reflux disease affects different people in many different ways. Persistent heartburn is the most common symptom, but other possible acid reflux disease symptoms are:

  • Stomach acid rising
  • Sour taste in the mouth
  • Burning in the throat
  • Pain or burning in the chest
  • Trouble sleeping because of heartburn


Have you experienced any of these acid reflux disease symptoms? You should schedule an appointment with your doctor today. Acid reflux disease is often a chronic condition that can lead to serious complications over time. Only your doctor can diagnose acid reflux disease and determine if there is any damage to your esophagus.

Important Safety Information for Prevacid

If you suffer from persistent heartburn two or more days a week, despite treatment and diet changes, it could be acid reflux disease. Prescription Prevacid Capsules and Prevacid SoluTab (lansoprazole) Orally Disintegrating Tablets are used for the treatment of acid reflux disease including erosive esophagitis and for maintenance of healed erosive esophagitis. Individual results may vary. Most erosions heal in 4–8 weeks. You should not take Prevacid if you are allergic to Prevacid or any of its ingredients. Prevacid may not be right for everyone and has a low occurrence of side effects in adults including diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and constipation. Symptom relief does not rule out other serious stomach conditions. Before taking Prevacid, tell your doctor if you are taking ampicillin, atazanavir, digoxin, iron, ketoconazole or warfarin. Talk to your doctor or healthcare provider to see if Prevacid is right for you.

Please see the accompanying Complete Prescribing Information for more information and talk to your healthcare provider.
