Prevacid
decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Prevacid is
used to treat and prevent stomach and intestinal ulcers, erosive
esophagitis (damage to the esophagus from stomach acid), and other
conditions involving excessive stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison
syndrome. Prevacid may also be used for purposes other than those
listed in this medication guide. Take Prevacid exactly as directed
by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your
pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Do not stop
taking Prevacid even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may
improve before the condition is fully treated. |
