Prevacid is also known as lansoprazole and belongs to the proton pump inhibitor category of drugs. It reduces the amount of acid that the stomach produces, but does not offer immediate relief to people with heartburn. In certain cases, Prevacid may be combined with antibiotics.
How Does Prevacid Work ? Prevacid works by inhibiting the K+/H+ ATPase enzyme found in the gastric parietal cell and usually pumps H+ into the stomach. This ensures that H+ ions do not get pumped into the stomach, and therefore cannot increase the acidity of the stomach.
How To Take Prevacid? When taking Prevacid, ensure that you closely follow the doctor`s prescription or the instructions on the label of the drug. Do not take in smaller or larger amounts or longer than recommended. Prevacid is normally taken before eating. You should not break or crush the drug even if it has a delayed release since crushing it might cause a lot of the drug to be released at once. Therefore, you should swallow it whole. When taking Prevacid orally, ensure that your hands are dry before removing the tablet and placing it in your mouth. It will start dissolving right away, without chewing. Swallow several times to make sure it goes down your throat. You should not use an oral syringe or nasogastric feeding tube when taking this drug since it may not dissolve completely, preventing you from taking the full dosage. Prevacid 24HR should only be taken once every twenty four hours for fourteen days. You should not take another fourteen day treatment until four months after the time you took the last dose. You should consult your doctor if you have any additional conditions that may require you to take another treatment after less than four months. If you miss a dose when taking Prevacid, take it as soon as you remember, but skip the dose you have missed if it is almost time to take the other dose. Avoid taking extra doses to replace the missed one. Seek emergency medical attention if you overdose. You should also avoid taking sucralfate at the same time as Prevacid.
Warnings And Precautions: The questions that many people ask are what exactly can Prevacid cure and when not to use it. Many people confuse heartburn with the first symptoms of a heart attack. If you experience chest pain, pain spreading to the arm, sweating, nausea, or a general ill feeling, you should seek medical attention before taking Prevacid. You should avoid Prevacid if you are allergic to lansoprazole. Ask your doctor whether it is safe to use Prevacid if your blood contains of low levels of magnesium, or if you have liver disease.

When you visit your doctor looking for Prevacid, it is advisable to tell him or her if you have osteoporosis, meaning low mineral density in your bones. You should also tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you are intending to get pregnant during treatment, since this will help the doctor to determine the best dose. Also tell the doctor if you are breastfeeding before using Prevacid.
Side Effects: Prevacid has a number of side effects. Some, such as difficulty breathing, hives, swelling of your throat, face, tongue and lips, are a result of an allergic reaction and you should seek emergency medical assistance.
