A member asked:

Is prevacid (lansoprazole) an antacid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prevacid (lansoprazole): Prevacid is the branded equivalent of lansoprazole, an oral acid-reducer agent of the proton pump inhibitor (ppi) class of drugs. This is different from an antacid, which neutralizes the acid you've already produced.
