Ask your healthcare provider about Prevacid.

Prevacid is the #1 acid-blocker medicine prescribed by pediatric gastroenterologists,* specialists in childhood GERD. Prevacid is approved to treat children with GERD (acid reflux disease) as young as 12 months of age.

When taken every day as prescribed, Prevacid can help relieve GERD symptoms in children. These symptoms can include:

• Throwing up
• Heartburn
• Burping
• Stomachaches
• Cranky or sick feelings at mealtime
• Trouble swallowing
• Coughing

Prevacid relieves the symptoms associated with GERD in children. It also helps heal the damage acid may have caused to your child's esophagus. Individual results may vary. If your child has any of the symptoms of GERD, talk with your healthcare provider, and ask if Prevacid is right for him or her.

Prevacid is easy to take.

Prevacid is taken once a day before a meal. If Prevacid is right for your child, your healthcare provider will tell you how much Prevacid your child should take each day and for how long it needs to be taken. Treatment with Prevacid usually lasts 8 or 12 weeks, depending on your child's age. If Prevacid is not taken every day as prescribed, it may not heal the damage to your child's esophagus.

There are lots of ways to give your child Prevacid.

Children have different needs when it comes to taking medicine. That's why there are more ways for your child to take Prevacid than any other medicine like it.

Prevacid® SoluTab™ (lansoprazole) is a strawberry-flavored tablet that melts in your child's mouth. No water, no messy spills—easy for them and easy for you!
