Prevacid (lansoprazole) side effect: Diarrhea is the most common side effect of Prevacid (lansoprazole). Other potential side effects include: skin rash or itching, abdominal or stomach pain, increased or decreased appetite, joint pain, nausea, and vomiting. Unlike some side effects of drugs, the diarrhea due to Prevacid (lansoprazole) does not tend to improve with time. Most people need to take a different PPI. The other PPIs do not tend to cause diarrhea.
