Prevacid

Prevacid, a Drug consisting of Lansoprazole compound, is used for the treatment of conditions when the body makes excess amount of acid. Prevacid belongs to the category drugs called proton pump inhibitor (PPI), and Prevacid functions just like other similar medicines do. Prevacid is being manufactured by Tap Pharmaceuticals.

What are the major disorders for which Prevacid/Lansoprazole may be Used?

Prevacid/Lansoprazole is most commonly recommended to people whose body forms extra amount of acid, which inturn leads to certain major problems that are very serious.

Just like the other proton pump inhibitors, Prevacid is also used for the treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers and Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

• Gastric and duodenal ulcer: Gastric ulcer is referred to as the hole in the lining of the stomach corroded by the acidic digestive juices, which are secreted by the stomach cells. The formation of ulcer in the body is attributed to a bacterium in the stomach, anti-inflammatory medications, and smoking cigarettes.
  
  Duodenal ulcer is same as gastric ulcer except that this ulcer is in the duodenum. In order to get rid of this problem it is important that excess amount of acid should be removed from the body. Prevacid helps people by decreasing the amount of acid in the body, thereby getting rid of ulcers.
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): GERD is defined as the inflammation and/or pain associated with the escape of stomach contents into the esophagus. This has been found to be related to the increase in the amount of acid formation in the stomach.
  
  GERD can lead to scarring of the esophagus, and may increase the risk of cancer of the esophagus in some patients.

In the problems of Ulcers and GERD, it is necessary that the extra amount of acid should be removed from the body. Prevacid works very successfully to remove this extra acid from the body.

How Prevacid works?

Prevacid/Lansoprazole works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Prevacid does this by blocking a molecule present in the body, which is a cause of the acid production. The excess acid is generally removed from the body thorough urine. The stomach contains numbers of special cells that produce acid through acid pumps. These acid pumps do a function of producing the acid to help digest food. Prevacid works in a way that some of these pumps are being deactivated. Thereby the production of acid in the stomach gets reduced. So, Prevacid reduces the chance of acid backing up into the esophagus and causing some problems.

Thus, Prevacid lowers the amount of acid produced by the body, hence helping to solve the problem of stomach ulcers and GERD.

What is the minimum duration for which Prevacid should be taken?

Prevacid should be taken for atleast 4 weeks before its effects can be seen. However, the exact dosage and length of treatment is based on the person’s condition and response to therapy. Although prevacid should be used regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. A doctor can best guide of the duration of use of Prevacid/Lansoprazole.
