Is it safe to take my prescription strength prevacid (lansoprazole) once every 3-4 days instead of everyday, as needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: These medications are not effective that way. Better get rechecked you can take have a different problem in your stomach.....H pylori may be. Antacids can be taken that way...As needed. You can take daily for 8-12 wks and then can stop to see if symptoms are coming back.
