Regular Member Anne Wilson Posted May 28, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 28, 2009 Important information about Prevacid Before taking Prevacid, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have any type of liver disease. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication. Some conditions are treated with a combination of Prevacid and antibiotics. To best treat your condition, use all of your medications as directed by your doctor. Be sure to read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each of your medications. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without advice from your doctor. If you also take sucralfate (Carafate), avoid taking it at the same time you take Prevacid. Sucralfate can make it harder for your body to absorb Prevacid. Wait at least 30 minutes after taking this medicine before you take sucralfate. Take Prevacid for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor. Your symptoms may get better before your treatment is completed. Some forms of this medication may contain phenylalanine. Tell your doctor if you have phenylketonuria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
