Brand name: Prevacid
Generic name: Lansoprazole, Mavilan
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.
