Customer Reviews:
I’ve been using Prevacid for over a year already to deal with gastro-esophageal reflux disease. During the first half of the year this medication worked very effective for my condition and I was completely free of heartburn. Now I see that the effectiveness is decreased for me and I don’t experience the same good results and I’m going to try some other medication.

After some years of experiencing a condition of acid reflux that was getting worse and worse and the need to follow a very strict dietary regimen as different food provoked severe heartburn, my medical provider prescribed me Prevacid. This drug began to perform its effect immediately and very quickly my heartburn went away. Among the side effects that I couldn’t avoid was frequent diarrhea. But after several months of the use of this medication this condition went away.

I have taken Prevacid during a year now to treat gastro-esophageal reflux disease and it works great for me. My medical provider suggested that I should take this medication not every day in order the effects of the drug won’t reduce. So I take it when experience the symptoms of my condition and it brings relief from unwanted symptoms quickly.

Prevacid has found to be the best drug for acid reflux and chronic heartburn for me. I usually take two capsules of this medication and it helps me to avoid painful heartburn at night. This medication enables me to eat foods particularly some spicy foods that I was not able to eat before because of my condition. According to the recommendations given by my medical provider, this drug should not be taken for more than 2 weeks and a break of about 4 months is recommended. Than you can start another course of the treatment with Prevacid.
