MedDataToolPrevacid 24 Hr is a medication used to treat frequent heartburn, which happens two or more days a week. It works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach makes, helping to relieve heartburn symptoms over time. Adults aged 18 and older should take one capsule each day before eating in the morning for 14 days, and it's important not to take more than one capsule a day or use it for longer than 14 days without a doctor's advice. Be cautious if you have allergies to lansoprazole, as it can cause serious skin reactions. If you're taking prescription medications, especially acid reducers, it's a good idea to check with your doctor or pharmacist to avoid any interactions.
