Why is Prevacid prescribed? Prevacid blocks the production of stomach
acid. It is prescribed for the short-term treatment (4 to 8 weeks) of the
following: Erosive esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) Heartburn and
other symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (also known as GERD, which
occurs when stomach acid backs up into the tube connecting the throat to the
stomach).
Once a duodenal ulcer or case of esophagitis has cleared up, the
doctor may continue prescribing Prevacid to prevent a relapse. Prevacid is also
prescribed to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers in people who develop this
problem while taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil, Motrin,
and Naprosyn. The drug is also used for long-term treatment of certain diseases
marked by excessive acid production, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Prevacid is also prescribed as part of a combination treatment to eliminate the
H. pylori infection that causes most cases of duodenal ulcer. Prevacid may also
be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Please consult your physician before taking any medication.
