Yes, it would be fine to take Prevacid 12 hours after taking pantoprazole. Are you under the care of a GI doctor? Hopefully, your symptoms will improve with the Prevacid but, if not, see your GI doctor. Good luck to you!

How long is it safe to take pantoprazole for acidity?? I suffer from hyperacidity every other day, i am not able to control it via diet control, & anxiety adds up more fuel to it, resulting in GERD & damages my throat lining as well. 40 mg is it safe?
