The GERD Diary is a diary you'll actually want to share.
How do your child's eating and activity habits affect his or her symptoms? Sometimes it can be hard to figure out how foods, activities, and symptoms may be linked. That's why it can be helpful to track this information in your child's diary. Sharing the diary with your healthcare provider can help him or her make an informed diagnosis.Simply click on one of the links below and download your GERD Diary. Then complete it with your child's information. For example, record your child's meals and when symptoms develop. You may print out as many copies as you like.
Once-daily prescription Prevacid is approved for GERD in children aged 1-17 years. Individual results may vary.
Important Safety Information
Prevacid Capsules and Prevacid SoluTab (lansoprazole) Orally Disintegrating Tablets are not for everyone. Your child should not take Prevacid if they are allergic to Prevacid or any of its ingredients. Prevacid has a low occurrence of side effects in adults and children. The most frequently reported adverse events in patients aged 1 to 11 years were constipation (5%) and headache (3%). In patients aged 12 to 17 years, the most frequently reported adverse events were headache (7%), abdominal pain (5%), nausea (3%), and dizziness (3%). The adverse event profile in children and adolescents resembled that of adults taking Prevacid, where the most common adverse events were diarrhea (3.8%), abdominal pain (2.1%) and nausea (1.3%). Symptom relief does not rule out other serious stomach conditions. Before using Prevacid, tell your child’s doctor if they are taking ampicillin, atazanavir, digoxin, iron, ketoconazole, theophylline, tacrolimus or warfarin. If your child is taking Prevacid with warfarin, they may need to be monitored because serious risks could occur.
