| 5 | acidity | none | M | 71 | | 1/3/2001 | 5 | Acid Reflux | None | Prevacid after a few days got rid of my acid reflux, I didn't have any side effect (I took it years ago and haven't since, that's why I forgot the dosage I was prescribed). | M | 22 | 6 months Forgot 1X day | 3/30/2010 | 5 | Severe Gerd | None | I have severe gerd.When I say severe I'm talking my stomach burned everyday for a couple of years.I tried alot of products from tums to malox to rolaids you name it.Zantac worked for a while but then did nothing for me.I tried dieting and no matter what I ate or drank,later came the horrible burn.Prevacid saved me from this with no side affects.I did it according to the 14 day plan and am now finished.I only hope it doesn't come back because the burn is unbelievable and I guess I can't take it again for four months.The acid was so bad I couldn't imagine living life like that again. | M | 42 | 2 weeks prevacid24 1X day | 4/3/2010 | 5 | gastritis | none | After 2 weeks with gastritis causing all sorts of stomach problems, Dr. advised to take OTC Prevacid. In 2 days, all symptoms gone, stomach settled down, no more gas, no diahrea or pain. | M | 73 | 2 days 15 mg 1X day | 5/3/2010 | 5 | Acid Reflux, Ulcer | None at all. | Although it has worked great for me over the years, I am going stop it for ahile to see if symptoms return. | M | 71 | 4 years 30mg 1X day | 5/27/2010 | 5 | Acid Reflux | I have not hade any side effects. | I use an inflatable wedge device that elevates my mattress to prevent acid from entering my esophagus at night. I found that if I have any acid discomfort at night , I lay on my back rather than on my side seams to help. Foods that cause acid have been eliminated from the diet. If I don’t take the Prevacid, I have horrible burning in my stomach. I am going to try taking 15mg in the morning and 15mg at night to allow better digestion of food. | M | 66 | 6 years 30mg 1X day | 7/1/2010 | 5 | Acid Reflux - Indigestion | None | This is a very good medication and has worked for me for many years. When taken as needed I have never experienced any side effects. Now that Prevacid is otc it's even better! | M | 54 | 3 days 15-30 1X day | 7/27/2010 | 5 | heartburn and gas | none | This worked great for 7 months. My doctor took me off of it to see if I still needed it, perhaps my stomach had healed or something like that. I was ok for 3 months and my problems returned. I am going to ask him to put me back on it. I had runny stools and gas for the first week I went off the previcid, but then back to normal. I had no problem going onto the drug or taking it for 7 months. | M | 49 | 7 months 30mg 1X day | 9/2/2010 | 5 | burning stomache | None | I have had no side effects,I cannot understand how all these people can have so many different side effects,I dont believe they are all caused by Prevacid!Anyway after it became otc I have been buying it at Walmart very reasonable,I find 15mg works for me very well .I would like to get weaned off it because its not natural .I had bloated burning stomache after eating or drinking. Prevacid ( perscribed by my doctor).It cured me and I can eat whatever I like.Lets face it going through life eating oatmeal and drinking water is not much fun.I drink beer and eat spicy foods sometimes,even smoke and chew occasionally,anyway the drug prevacid has worked great,weight has stayed the same no problems at all,hair is not falling out . | M | 55 | 5 years 30 mg 1X day | 10/10/2010 | 5 | Acid reflux | None | Prevacid is the only thing that worked for me. I can eat anything. Now taking generic Lansoprazole and it works just as well. | M | 65 | 11 years 30 1X day | 4/5/2011 | 5 | Acid reflux | I have experienced no side effects. If I take each day I don't have heartburn daily | I would not be able to live a normal life if not for this drug | M | 54 | 3 years 30 1X day | 4/16/2011 | 5 | GERD | No side effects | Have had no problems with this drug, it has successfully managed my GERD now for many, many years. | M | 57 | 10 years 30 MG 1X day | 11/5/2011 | 5 | Gerd | None | After trying several similar drugs, this one has allowed me a totally normal existence - I can eat anything - for 14 years! | M | 52 | 14 years 30 MG 1X day | 11/14/2011 | 5 | barrets esophagus | M | 73 | 1X day | 2/16/2012 | 5 | GERD | None that I am aware of. | Worked much better than PRILOSEC for me. Lower level drugs like ZANTAC do not even compare, in effectiveness (in my opinion). | M | 54 | 15 years 15mg 1X day | 8/4/2012 | 5 | Gerd | None. Works wonders for me. | M | 29 | 1 years 30mg | 1/11/2013 | 5 | Reflux | Diarrhea, palpitations, dry mouth, noticiable increase in dreaming | It took about a month for the medication to start kicking in, but Im feeling great now. Still have to be very careful about food (what you eat and how much). Took prescription Pepcid earlier in year for 3-4 months and was fine when I went off it for 3-4 months, but mustve got sloppy on eating habits cause symptoms returned. Similar side effects on Pepcid, just Prevacid seems to have stronger side effects | M | 35 | 2 months | 11/11/2005 | 5 | Acid reflux/indigestion | No side-effects what so ever. | I have been taking Prevacid (30mg) intermittently for the past 15 years(?). Recently, I have begun taking medication for high blood pressure and depression/anxiety. The side effects of these meds include gastric problems, thus returning to Prevacid for relief with fantastic results. Pepcid AC, Zantac 150 and the like ceased being effective after several years of use. Chronic indigestion, pressure and awakening at night choking on my own reflux are now distant memories! My only issue with Prevacid is the expense, although well worth it. | M | 38 | 6 days | 8/14/2006 | 5 | acid reflux | none | completely eliminated my symptoms/problems. occasional reflux (after eating something with fat content, ie, ice cream) has no acid. i find it wonderful! | M | 65 | 4 days | 2/9/2006 | 5 | gerd | none | i had severe reflux and was diagnosed with barrett's disease (6+ years ago). i take prevacid every day and experience zero heartburn or reflux. i have zero side effects and feel so grateful that the drug exists......extreme reflux is unbearable. | M | 61 | 6 years | 3/21/2007 |
PREVACID (LANSOPRAZOLE): Lansoprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. This medication helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Lansoprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). FDA Approval Date: 1995-05-10 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
