Important Safety Information for Prevacid
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.

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.
