Prevacid Side Effects Are Serious

Posted on by duran

Are You Willing To Take The Risk?

Prevacid is sometimes used to treat a doudenal ulcer (raw area in the lining in the upper part of the small intestine), other types of ulcers and erosion of the esophagus caused by reflux of stomach acid due to GERD or acid reflux disease. The active ingredient in Prevacid is Lansoprazole. You need to be aware of the possible consequences and potential Prevacid side effects before making an informed decision to take this medication. Additionally, Prevacid has the potential to negatively interact with other medicine you may be taking, causing severe allergic reactions. Reactions can even occur if you are taking the recommended dose.

Prevacid is used to treat symptoms such as:

  • Heartburn
  • Sore throat
  • Chest pain
  • Hoarseness
  • Regurgitation

Now let’s look at some common Prevacid side effects:

  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea

Not so bad? Although rare, here is a list of more serious Prevacid side effects:

  • Allergic reactions
  • Migraines
  • Stroke
  • Chest pain
  • High blood pressure
  • Fainting
  • Heart attack
  • Ulcerated colitis
  • Gout
  • Weight loss
  • Weight gain
  • Asthma
  • Depression
  • Insomnia
  • Acne
  • Nosebleeds
  • Rashes
  • Hair loss
  • Dry eyes
  • Ear infections
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Impotence

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude that potential Prevacid side effects are far worse than the symptoms it is supposed to treat. Drugs similar to Prevacid carry equally lengthy or even longer lists of side effects that are just as serious as Prevacid’s.

So What are the Alternatives?

Fortunatley, there are other options. In most cases, GERD symptoms and reflux problems can be prevented and even cured through proper diet combined with natural remedies. All too often, people are used to over-eating and consuming processed unhealthy foods high in acid. Those suffering from heartburn commonly blame spicy foods. However the cause is much deeper than that.

Acidic foods and drinks cause over production of stomach acid. Many people are surprised to hear items such as eggs, meat, dairy products and some fruits and vegetables can be the culprit of uncomfortable acid reflux. Acidic foods should be replaced with those that are considered alkaline foods that naturally balance the level of acid in the stomach. These include bananas, papaya and herbs and spices like mint, basil, ginger and fennel seed.

Other factors that may help reduce your reflux problems include regular exercise and being careful not to lay down or or bend over right after meals. Other natural acid reflux remedies include drinking apple cider vinegar, aloe vera juice, honey and licorice root.

Natural remedies are not only safe and effective, they can work in minutes. You owe it to yourself to learn more about natural GERD and acid reflux remedies. Why risk serious and dangerous Prevacid side effects?
