Prevacid®
Prevacid reduces acid by blocking your stomach's acid-producing
mechanism. Even though this mechanism is constantly being renewed, and producing
new acid, taking Prevacid actually reduces your stomach acid for up to 24 hours.
This is why you need to take Prevacid regularly, and not just when your symptoms
are bothering you. Prevacid effectively blocks the final stage of acid production,
no matter what the trigger. This relieves the burning feeling of the acid disorder
and allows for healing. With Prevacid as the basis for your treatment,
you go beyond relieving your symptoms every day. As long as you are taking Prevacid,
you are healing damage to your esophagus caused by acid reflux disease, and you
can also maintain any previous healing. Individual results may vary. How
do you take Prevacid? There are two different doses of Prevacid: 15 mg
and 30 mg. Only your doctor can determine which dosage is right for you. Your
doctor will tell you exactly how much Prevacid to take, and how often to take
it— and may suggest changes over time. Order
Prevacid How long should you be taking Prevacid? How long you
take Prevacid will depend on why you are taking it and how your body responds.
Some people feel better very soon after they start Prevacid, while others need
to take Prevacid longer. Of course it's tempting to think that once your symptoms
go away, so does your acid reflux disease. That's true for some people, but for
many others it's not, which is why, even if you feel better quickly, you should
take all of your medicine as directed. Only your doctor can know for sure how
long you will need to take Prevacid. Does Prevacid have side effects? Like
all medicines, Prevacid may cause some side effects. However, most people do not
have any side effects with Prevacid. In studies, the most common side effects
that were reported with Prevacid more than with a sugar pill (placebo) were diarrhea,
abdominal pain, and nausea. Relief of your symptoms does not rule out other serious
stomach conditions Prevacid®
