Prevacid DR (active ingredient: lansoprazole) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Prevacid DR is used for the treatment of GERD, including heartburn and acid regurgitation, by reducing the production of stomach acid.
  2. Erosive Esophagitis: It is indicated for the healing and maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis, which is inflammation and damage to the esophagus caused by stomach acid.
  3. Peptic Ulcers: Prevacid DR is used for the treatment of peptic ulcers, including gastric and duodenal ulcers, by promoting healing and reducing the risk of ulcer recurrence.
  4. Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: It is also indicated for the long-term treatment of conditions where the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Prevacid DR belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which work by blocking the enzyme in the stomach lining that produces acid, thereby reducing overall acid levels and allowing healing of the digestive tract.

Prevacid, is available as DR capsules that should be ingested orally according to your doctor’s instructions, typically once daily before a meal. If you are administering it to yourself, make sure to adhere to all directions provided in the package.

The dosage and duration of treatment for the medication is determined by your medical condition and your response to the treatment. The dosage for children varies in accordance with their age and weight. Please do not take the medication more frequently than instructed or increase the dosage. If you have any questions, never hesitate to ask your pharmacist or doctor.

Do not chew or break the capsules. Instead, swallow them whole. If you encounter difficulty swallowing the capsules, you may open them, sprinkle the contents onto a spoonful of soft food (such as yogurt, cottage cheese, or applesauce), and swallow the mixture immediately without chewing it. Alternatively, you can mix the contents of the capsule with a small amount of juice (about 2 ounces or 60 milliliters), stir, and drink it right away without chewing it. Rinse the glass with additional juice to ensure that you consume the whole dosage, and never prepare the combination in advance for later use as this may cause drug damage.

To benefit from Lansoprazole capsules, you need to use it consistently. Take the medication daily at the same time each day to help you remember. Please continue to use Lansoprazole capsules for the prescribed duration of treatment even if you start feeling better.
