Drug Uses
Prevacid is used for reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach and for treatment and prevention of stomach and intestinal ulcers, erosive esophagitis problems and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid (for example Zollinger Ellison Syndrome). If you suffer from heartburn (and have tried to handle it and changed your diet) Prevacid can be suitable for you. Certain antibiotics (such as amoxicillin, clarithromycin) can be directed together with Prilosec when treating certain ulcers.
How Taken
Prevacid comes as an extended release (long acting) capsule for oral administration. The usual dosage for Prevacid is a capsule a day, taken before food intake. The capsule should be swallowed whole.
