A member asked:
If you had to choose between 1 prevacid or 2-4 zantac (ranitidine) to manage gerd (morning nausea and nausea between meals) for life which would you choose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GERD: Neither is good for life, chronic acid suppression, especially by ppis like prevacid, (lansoprazole) can create more problems down the line in the stomach. You should consider dietary changes, losing weight and other ways to control your gerd rather than depending on medications at your young age.
