A member asked:
Why might it be that my doctor prescribe prevacid (lansoprazole) for my ibs symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trial: Our choice of specific therapies is based sometimes upon symptoms and response to empiric trials. Your physician may be concerned about reflux, gastritis, etc. Best is to always ask your physician why they want to use a certain medication and to make sure you understand the reason. Best wishes.
