| 5 | Gastritis/Erosive esophagitis | Slight fatigue, flatulence | I just recently switched to Prevacid from Pepcid because of all of the side effects and the difference is like night and day! I feel 100x better now that I am off the Pepcid and onto the Prevacid! No more gastric pain, and no more pain in my esophagus. I highly recommend the PPI! | M | 28 | 18 days 30mg 1X day | 1/29/2021 | 5 | Barrets and painful acid reflux. | I can eat anything and cleared dis comfort. Recently absolute fatigue, tiredness, no energy in muscles. Real problems with cognitive FUNCTION? ONGOING anxiety/depression which I never related? | I really suspect my fatigue and brain fog are tyed to me to my long term use. Dr see every 2 years does not entertain a conversation | M | 60 | 8 years 15 | 9/10/2019 | 5 | Ulcer | Good-helped treat a bleeding ulcer | F | 58 | 3 years 1capsule | 6/1/2019 | 5 | GERD | None, awesome drug. Two routine endoscopes since I started 10 years ago and all normal. What else could you ask from a drug. | I can't imagine life without this drug. Heartburn and GERD are not a joke, they can be debilitating. | M | 68 | 10 years 15 1X day | 9/16/2015 | 5 | gerd, loose lower esoph sphincter | I've been taking Prevacid for 19 years, (no option over 10 years given) since 1995 with no side effects. Had extreme malaise of u/o while taking Prilosec for 2 years and it disappeared when I came off of it for some tests. After tests and endoscopy, I was put on Prevacid and have been extremely pleased, taking one when I wake up in morning and rarely having to take a second in the late afternoon. No problems! | F | 65 | 10 years 30mg | 9/1/2014 | 5 | Grrreat stuff.. Taken it on and off last few years.. No complaints here. Occasionally have gas. Compared to the stomach pains I had to deal w prior to Prevacid.. Some occasionally friendly fire, not gonna hurt anyone.. Lol | F | 41 | 5 years | 4/23/2013 | 5 | Hearburn, GERD, stomach pain | Little jittery for about 2 hours after taking it... But the relief is so worth it | F | 27 | 1 weeks | 2/14/2013 | 5 | Gerd | None. Works wonders for me. | M | 29 | 1 years 30mg | 1/11/2013 | 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 | gastric ulcers | Took omeprazole for over a yr after bleeding ulcers and it gave me stomach pain. Switched to Prevacid and the pain is gone. I feel much better and no side effects at all. | F | 66 | 10 days 15 mg | 5/26/2012 | 5 | GERD | Started out taking Prilosec but began getting chest pains and cramps in left arm. Switched to Prevacid and had no problems. Occasionally get bloated feeling in stomach. Cramping pain (like a Charlie Horse) if I bend over for too long (like to tie a shoe). | After reading the concerns over long term use, I weaned myself down to 15 mg. (occasionally supplement with Gaviscon if needed) after years on 30 mg. dose. I can't seem to get off the stuff and my doctor keeps telling me that I shouldn't. She says my concerns over bone problems aren't as important as the real possibility of esophageal or throat cancer that I could develop if I quit the PPI's. | F | 65 | 13 years 15 mg. 1X day | 5/5/2012 | 5 | barrets esophagus | M | 73 | 1X day | 2/16/2012 | 5 | GERD | Fatigue, gas pains. | Prevacid has worked really well for me. I hate taking meds but I was desperate. GERD has caused me severe pain and vomiting every time I experience it (at least once a week). Prevacid has relieved all of my symptoms and I can now live a normal life. A relative told me that taking apple cider vinegar with mother enzyme before every meal has cured her boyfriend's GERD so I am going to try that instead. I am scared of the long-term effects of using Prevacid (and every other med). | F | 24 | 3 years 30 MG 2X day | 2/1/2012 | 5 | Stomache pains-Ulcer | stifled vitamin B absorbtion- Never be on it longer than 30 days!! | Cured my severe ulcer in 1 month. Ulcer left me passing out because the pain was so bad for 3 months. | F | 35 | 30 days 10mg 1X day | 1/27/2012 | 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 | 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 | acid reflux | This pill worked great on me. I was having so much problems with my stomach to the point that I started losing weight due to not being able to eat much because it would cause my stomach to either bloat or hurt. I was so fed up already. By the 5th day of taking this treatment I noticed such a huge change. I no longer had to be drinking chamomille tea at 3:00 in the morning, and was able to eat much better without feeling any symptom. | F | 20 | 2 weeks 20 mg 1X day | 7/11/2011 | 5 | GERD | This drug has helped me immensley. I won't say side effects as none, but I can't say this medicine caused them. Started taking 30mg ten years ago and after a few months began having mild chest pain at times only. Dr. recommended stop taking after about 6 years. Then I began taking over the counter Prilosec. Then went back to Prevacid 15 mg after it became available. I still may have occasional chest pain, rapid pulse, slight arythmia, but I don't know if Prevacid causes it. At least I can swallow my food, knifing stomach pain is gone, and no acid coming up. | My concern for checking this website for reactions is that I read these ppi may inhibit the effectiveness of blood thinners. I only take 3 pills per week and trying to wean off them. Hopefully medical research will enlighten us as to the long term negative effects. It seems we take one pill to cure the effects of another.... | F | 59 | 4 months 15 1X day | 6/2/2011 | 5 | Acid Reflux | None | So far after taking the generic of prevacid disolve tab, I have no side effects. I already suffer from migraines and fibromayalgia so the headaches and muscle spasms people are referring to already effect me. After taking it for 1 month, I went off it (had to wait for insurance to cover the refill). I immediately had the reflux again. The day I went back on it, no more reflux. It's nice to be able to eat regular foods and not eliminate all my favorites. | F | 34 | 1X day | 5/26/2011 | 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 |
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)
