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)

 5  Gerd, Acid Reflux None that I can remember This was truly a wonder drug for me after a year of suffering with severe burning in my chest, weight loss due to being unable to eat anything that didn't cause pain. Even though it's not on my ins formulary, it's been worth it to me to pay the additional $50/mo copay. It's worked better for me than Prilosec. My diet is normal now and I seldom have pain unless I skip my once a day dose or eat something extremely garlicky or spicy. M 44 8 years

 3  acid reflux it seems to have gotten worse a month after I started taking it. I've been on it a year now. But when ever I stopped taking the symptons were much worse than before I started taking it. I don't want to be dependant on medication. Something is not right. F 29

 5  gerd none before prevacid I vomited and aspirated in my sleep, I would wake up choking and having trouble breathing, prevacid has controlled this. M 60 3 years

 5  Reflux none You ppl are very stupid, half the side effects you list have absolutely nothing to do with prevacid. Leg Ulcer? Ill Tempered? Alot of ppl suffer from anxiety disorders, these side effects although physical in nature are purely psychosomatic. Get mental health to go along with your treating of symptoms. Most stomach problems can be traced to mental issues. Especially you 27 yo female. M 32 2 months

 5  Gerd When first starting med.,I had loose bowels but that went away after about a week or so. It does seem to add to I.B.S. but if you eat well and take some citracil once a day that problem goes away. Controls the GERD very well. Stay off the soda pop helps too!! M 48 2 years

 3  excess acid production Nothing that I initially noticed. Had an upper endoscopy, had a few gastric polyps. They were biopsied and luckily benign. However, after research I found out that proton pump inhibitors such as Prevacid have been know to cause gastric polyps. Switching to Aciphex. Have not seen so much on the net about that causing polyps. We'll see. My sugestion is to research, research, research. F 25 6 months
