Important Safety Information for PREVPAC® (lansoprazole /amoxicillin /clarithromycin)

PREVPAC is indicated for the treatment of patients with H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) infection and duodenal ulcer disease to eradicate H. pylori. Your results may vary.

The most frequently reported adverse events with PREVPAC were diarrhea (7%), headache (6%) and taste perversion (5%).

Symptomatic response to therapy does not preclude the presence of gastric malignancy.

Eradication of H. pylori reduces the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence. In patients who fail this therapy, susceptibility testing should be done if possible. If clarithromycin resistance is demonstrated, a non-clarithromycin-containing regimen is recommended.

PREVPAC is not recommended in patients with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min. PREVPAC is contraindicated in patients taking cisapride, pimozide, astemizole, terfenadine, ergotamine or dihydroergotamine.

Colchicine toxicity has been reported with concomitant use of clarithromycin and colchicine, especially in geriatric patients; some has occurred in patients with renal insufficiency. Patients should be monitored for clinical symptoms of colchicine toxicity. Clarithromycin may elevate digoxin serum concentrations. Serum digoxin levels should be carefully monitored while digoxin and clarithromycin are taken concomitantly. Clarithromycin should not be used in pregnant women except in circumstances where no alternative therapy is appropriate. Amoxicillin is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to penicillin.

For information about further warnings, precautions or adverse reactions for amoxicillin and clarithromycin, please see the complete prescribing information for amoxicillin and for BIAXIN® Filmtab® (clarithromycin tablets, USP).

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