A member asked:

How do you give prevacid (lansoprazole) solutab to a two month old infant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prevacid (lansoprazole): Unfortunatley its very hard. You need to disolve and probably best to use a syringe. It is an unpleasant drug and babies tend to spit it up. Be sure its truly indicated. It also makes them irritable.
