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.
