A member asked:

Is it ok to take 2 otc prevacid (lansoprazole) 15 mg a day? if so, take both at the same time or space them out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Either works, but...: Prescription-strength Prevacid (lansoprazole) is 30mg daily, so two 15mg OTC pills achieves the same dose. Be wary however of self-medication, particularly if your dyspeptic symptoms are atypical, are progressive, or prove refractory to conventional agents.
