Prevacid (Lansoprazole) is a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) used to treat ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Generic Prevacid (Lansoprazole) may also be used to treat ulcers due to long-term use of certain pain/anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This medicine works by blocking acid production in the stomach. It may be used in combination with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin) to treat certain types of ulcers. If you are taking this medicine for gastric ulcers or reflux disease, your symptoms should improve within 4 to 8 weeks. Additional monitoring of your dose or condition may be needed if you are taking ampicillin, cilostazol, digoxin, iron, itraconazole, ketoconazole, sucralfate, theophylline, vitamins with iron, vorconizole, or warfarin. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor
