Prevacid (lansoprazole): Yes as the baby's weight increases the dose of Prevacid (lansoprazole) should increase.

Call your doctor: Any medication changes on a prescription medicine need to be recommended by your doctor. Call your doctor for his/her particular advice. Don't adjust the dosage on your own.
