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