Prevacid? Pravacid is a common misspelling of Prevacid.
Prevacid® (lansoprazole) is a prescription medicine commonly used for treating conditions related to the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. It is licensed for the treatment of erosive esophagitis, GERD, ulcers, and H. pylori infections. By blocking acid production sites, the drug can decrease the amount of acid in the stomach, which can improve the symptoms of these conditions. Prior to using Prevacid, you should let your healthcare provider know if you have liver disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have any allergies.
