Lansoprazole

Generic for Prevacid, Prevacid SoluTab, and Prevacid 24HR

Lansoprazole is an oral drug that is used to reduce the amount of gastric acid the stomach produces. It's in a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) which do this by blocking an enzyme involved in making stomach acid. Lansoprazole is effective in treating conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Some common side effects include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. But, your healthcare provider will weigh these against the therapeutic benefits before prescribing.
