A member asked:
Am i unable to efficiently digest food while on prevacid (lansoprazole)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will likely digest: When a person takes Prevacid (lansoprazole), (lansoprazole) it should be because they have too much stomach acid. While the drug will likely lower the level of acid, there are other ways that acid is produced and released. It is probably better to think of Prevacid (lansoprazole) as "dialing it down" rather than turning off a switch.
