| 1 | bacteria in stomache | would not advise anyone to take it .causes bad things to happen to you | F | 60 | 2 months | 2/2/2004 | 5 | H. Pylori/stomach ulcer | I had the standard side effects loose stool metallic taste sometimes tired sometimes awake. Pretty much just made you some times like not getting better... because of so many pills. Not digging the yeast or the acid reflux. It seems during the medication. Really no acid reflux but now it's more prevalent. But overall satisfaction very pleased. Got testing next week hopefully it will be cleared out of my system... if not I'll try something else :-) | F | 40 | 2 weeks Standard | 8/9/2012 | 4 | H. pylori | I have a distasteful metallic taste. Nausea and loss of appetite, very sore muscles, often pain on my right side and back. Stomach feels pretty weird and funny sharp pains one in a while. Cannabis helped my side effects helped me sleep and avoid some of the discomforts. Also helped with my appetite. Mezzo Soup did me well too. Overall I don't complain much, the antibiotics are rounding up my soldiers getting the work done and cannabis ingested and smoked to aid the side effects. Great team! | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 10/21/2013 | 3 | H.Pylori | Nausea, stomach pains, headache, bad taste in mouth, constipation, insomina, feeling tired all day, bloating and gas | I needed to take it so I dealt with the side effects. I'm still only on day 3 of 14. I'll probably have more side effect by day 14. | F | 31 | 2 weeks 30-500-500 | 5/1/2016 | 1 | H Pylori | Headaches, chest pains, stomach pains, dizziness, extreme anxiety and depression, fatigue, insomnia. Blurred vision | I was on this for 14 days for h pylori, finished it completely took dosages at the same time everyday.Followed strict diet no fried foods, sugar, caffeine, bread etc. went back had breath test done still tested positive!! I'm now on it again with much stronger doses and added peptio. I'm on day 4. This second treatment is even worse than the first. I feeling like I'm dying a slow and painful death. God bless anyone out there that takes this. I'm praying that when i finish this treatment it will be gone for sure!!! Screw Prevpac and H Pylori!!!!! | F | 34 | 2 weeks | 11/10/2016 | 5 | H-Pylori | Metallic taste, yeast infection and thrush | Aside from the side effects mentioned, I was surprised that I was able to handle these massive amounts of anti-biotics. My symptoms cleared up, but unfortunately my H-Pylori was not killed using prevpac. I must now try another plan of attack. | F | 40 | 14 days | 11/20/2009 | 5 | H. Pylori/Ulcer | A bit of direahha only when I took the pills in the morning and went back to sleep for an hour or so. Upon waking up and eating,I had some stomach problems for about a half hour. Other than that, I was VERY pleased with the medication. I was suprised I handled THAT many antibiotics. | THANK YOU PREVPAC! | F | 19 | 14 days | 10/1/2004 | 5 | H Pylori | Ever lick a 9 volt battery when you were a kid? Yeah, Same Taste. The "runs" on day 7-10. Terrible Lethergy, depression, felt like i was being pelted by a professional boxer in the solar plexus at times - But there were also moments where the "sun peeked through the clouds", felt good and kept me going! | To hell and back, but definately worth it - i almost quit because i actually felt worse before i got better - then 2 days after my 2 week therapy - WOW!!!, i finally rid myself of the 2 year funk i was in!!! If you can stand it, please try to stick it out - you might be suprised at the results! I got my life back!!!! Now i've switched over to the homeopathic makula honey/mastic - just to be safe - I shan't go thru that ordeal again - i tell you for sure... | M | 42 | 14 days standard 2X day | 4/22/2010 | 5 | H.Pylori/Ulcer | Brief faintness, some diarrhea, "metalic" taste common with some antibiotics | First day taking pills, upon completing the evening dose I felt very warm on my face/flushed, and got a dizzy spell while shopping and needed to sit for a bit. After that incident that feeling never came back again. A bit of diarrhea came ONLY when I woke up early, took my meds, went back to sleep and woke up. However, when I took the meds with breakfast or dinner, I did not have diarrhea. Other than that, no terrible stomach aches or other related problems. The "metalic" taste came within 10-15 minutes of taking the antibiotics. It went away if I quickly drank a glass or two of water. No biggie. Considering how terrified I was to start the Prevpac fearing I'd be sick from the antibiotics, my experience with it was great and my ulcer issues were 99.9% better before even finishing the bacteria-killing wonder treatment. Thank goodness for this med! | F | 22 | 14 days | 5/10/2007 | 5 | h pylori | stomach pain, needle pricks all over due to low iron caused by lack of digestion due to low acid caused by prevacid. also, tired, anxiety and elevated BP(with history of high bp). | i felt terrible while on it but i feel like it saved my life. my stomach would feel like it was vibrating and also felt like fainting all due to an misdiagnosis. i was on antacid for months. kaiser permanete failed to check for h pylori and just threw antacids at the problem. the low iron was because of amount of time i was on prevacid, it keeps you from producing enough acid to break down the food wholly. what helps with food digestion while on agressive antacid regamine is pineapple juice. after the prevpac. normality returns within 6 minths to a year depending how much damage th h pylori bug caused. better to go through the 2 weeks of feeling miserable than to have a lifetime of problems. rough it out, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. | M | 36 | 14 days prevpac | 5/16/2017 | 4 | H Pylori infection | I finished the prevpac yesterday. I was on 14 days treatment due to H pylori infection And during the treatment I did not have any side effects during taking the meds and my pain all gone and I was happy that now I'm cured . Because prior taking the meds I had a horrible experience with h pylori , heart palpitations, heart burn , weigh loss ,no appetite and nausea I finished the antibiotics yesterday, And I kind of feeling sick again and I'm not sure why I feel unwell again ? I'm scared that the bacteria still there ? I really don't know . I appreciate If anyone can help with that And I'm waiting for the retest I hope the bacteria is gone | F | 45 | 14 days 2X day | 4/30/2021 | 4 | nausea | Severe Tongue bitterness | tongue bitterness increased to the core.let see where it takes.its 2nd day of medication im on now | F | 28 | 14 days 30 2X day | 12/16/2011 | 3 | h pylori antibodies present | female, post meno...while the h pylori bacteria wasn't active, i was putting out antibodies...as a precaution to having bariatric surgery, i was prescribed this med. have very metallic taste in mouth, had been constipated due to other meds, so prevpac helped even that out. no yeast (due to age?). tongue swollen somewhat, thirsty. confused/forgetful, but not sure of origin of those issues. too soon after finishing to tell. | it wasn't as horrid as I thought. hopefully it's gone, as I just wouldn't want to take that again....supposed to be taken on empty stomach, but that was too harsh for me, so I took 2-3 hrs after eating. husband is on same routine, he has no complaints after 12 days. | F | 60 | 14 days usual 2X day | 9/30/2012 | 3 | h pylori | Dizzy the 1st day, and nausea 2nd day as well as vomitting. Pain in right side lower back. | I've never felt so bad taking a medication in my life. | M | 43 | 14 days 2X day | 10/9/2012 | 3 | H.Pylori | I am glad that the 14 days treatment was finally over! The side effects that I had were: consitpation, yellowish layer on my touge, eyes felt uncomfortable/vision seemed worse, bitter taste in my mouth, chill feeling, stomache felt empty. The first 2-3 days I had light headache, kept waking up throughout the night. | I noticed that drinking more water, especially during the first hour after taking prevpac, would help to decrease the bitter taste. A few times I took it late at night(around 10pm), the bitter taste was much worse the next morning. | F | 49 | 14 days | 10/28/2006 | 3 | H.Pylori infection again | This is my second time trying this drug within two years, my H. Pylori has returned. My symptoms are terrible, they started right after the first dose with a disgusting horrible taste in my mouth, bloating, pain, exhaustion & nausea -- too many to list. Going to try to push through and finish, to hopefully, get rid of the stupid infection once and for all. I take a probiotic 2 hours after dose, hopefully it will help some. | F | 52 | 14 days 2X day | 11/27/2021 | 3 | H pylori | on day 3 and I've had some constipation, a little nauseous, extremely tired like I'm holding a bag of potatoes on my shoulders, some hunger, a slight headache. | Its working on my acid reflux but too tired to even walk. | F | 38 | 14 days | 6/18/2020 | 3 | H. Pylori | From the 4th day and on nausea, weakness, nausea when eating, anxiety, loss of apetite and weight. | I took it for 11 1/2 days and am afraid of having to go to the ER. I would like to thank everyone that posted their side effects here, it helped me understanding what is going on with me. | F | 40 | 14 days 30mg | 8/4/2020 | 2 | H pylori | Im on day 8, symptoms started around day 4....rushing chest pain, back and shoulder pain,stomach cramping, generalized fatigue | I am seriously considering stopping, don't know if I can take it another week | F | 42 | 14 days 2X day | 5/6/2017 | 2 | H.pylor | Headache, metallic taste in my mouth, earache, pounding heart beats, | I am on day 5, I feel so horrible, I am ever tired I just can't wait to get over this. I was hoping the meds will somewhat help with the pain but nothing | F | 25 | 14 days 2X day | 11/6/2020 |
PREVPAC (AMOXICILLIN; CLARITHROMYCIN; LANSOPRAZOLE; LANSOPRAZOLE): This product is used to treat stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by the bacteria H. pylori and to prevent the ulcers from returning. Treating an ulcer reduces the risk of serious damage to the lining of the stomach/intestines (such as bleeding, tearing, blockage). Lansoprazole is known as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by blocking acid production in the stomach. Decreasing excess stomach acid can help the ulcer heal. Amoxicillin and clarithromycin are antibiotics used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections (including H. pylori). Treating the infection helps reduce the risk of the ulcer returning. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic and clarithromycin is a macrolide-type antibiotic. They work by stopping the growth of bacteria. The antibiotics in this product treat only bacterial infections. Antibiotics do not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. FDA Approval Date: 1997-12-02 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
