Prevacid is used to treat various acid-related stomach and/or throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., acid reflux or GERD, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome). Prevacid may also be used to treat ulcers due to long-term use of certain pain/anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Lansoprazole works by blocking acid production in the stomach. This medication may be used in combination with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin) to treat certain types of ulcers. |
