Question: Can I take prevacid if I'm 14?
Answers:
I hope your started out with Tums or something like that to control your heartburn. Prevacid is for serious heartburn. The kind that hurts almost constantly.
Please start with Tums or Tums dual action. If that isn't enough, the next step would be pepcid and then zantac.
Prevacid can cause a lot of side effects, that's why they say 18+.
Acid Reflux to me is the same as heartburn. omeprazole is almost the same thing as prevacid.
Well, I guess you've been through a lot of medicines. But the proton pump inhibitors do have the most side effects.
My mother no longer suffers severe GERD (had this condition for 5 years, prescribed nexium which caused very severe side effects). The answer was so simple - taking digestive enzyme supplements - available from health food stores. Yes, mental side effects occur when you prevent essential stomach acid from breaking down nutrients the brain needs...notably B vitamins.
Digestive enzymes have no adverse side effects and help break down food and prevent acid reflux from occurring. Correcting the underlying problem rather than masking the problem is always preferable not to mention avoiding the side effects of acid blockers..see just how bad they can be>>>http://refluxdefense.com/heartburn_GERD_…
