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)

 4  Hiatal Hernia - Acid Reflux None The drug worked great. I could eat anything I wanted and not experience heartburn or acid indigestion, even pepperoni pizza. I stopped taking it last week as I wanted to not take the drug the rest of my life. My symptons are many times worse than I remember. I am trying to find a more natural cure. Any ideas is appreciated! M 32 1 years

 5  Barrett's esophagus Taking 30mg 2x day completely controls acid reflux, but can't skip but one pill. If I skip two, the symptoms return. I do have a little hair loss noticed within the last month. Also, I use a wedge pillow for sleeping and sleep on my left side -- more comfortable. F 54 15 months

 3  Acid Reflux I was diagnosed with IBS over 10 years ago and have noticed since I've been taking Prevacid it has gotten worse. I feel like a balloon is in me constantly and have a lot of fluid swelling. The person that wrote "increased problems with IBS" I would sure like to chat with them about their symptoms. F 39 21 days

 4  Acid reflux Ive been taking Prevacid for a year now (30 mg 2 times a day). Taking one a day didnt help me so my prescription was changed to 2 a day. Its helped a great deal, but Ive found that Ive gotten very short tempered and mean while on this. I tried to stop taking it and it was horrible..up all night with heart burn, doubled over in pain with it during the day. F 29 1 years
