Take it: If you have been prescribed prevpac, (lansoprazole amoxicillin and clarithromycin) my advice is to call your doctor to discuss your specific concerns, and then take it. Not treating h. Pylori with the Prevpac (lansoprazole amoxicillin and clarithromycin) can lead to future ulcers, perforations, and ultimately cancer in the more distant future. The benefits of the medicine generally outweight the rare side effects.
