A member asked:

I have been taking prevacid (lansoprazole) for about 19 years for my acid condition. should i cease to take it and change to another drug for acid reflux ? please

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you have been comfortable with Prevacid all these years , why change it ?I hope you have had an endoscopy done , if not i recommend you get it done. If you want you can try Zantac (ranitidine)
