Hello,

I've been on Prevacid 30 mg Rx'd twice daily now for a few years. Today, when I went to Walgreens, they substituted a generic form called "Lansoprazole" in the same dose. I was under the impression Prevacid didn't make generic (that's also why it was SOOOO expensive). Did that change? Does anyone know? Has anyone had experience or luck with this generic form?

I'm really excited about it cause it will eat up less of my insurance, but not excited if Walgreens just decided to substitute something else and call it good. I'm a-ok with generic though, as long as its the "real" thing and I just didn't think Prevacid did this.

Thanks!

Prevacid is the common brand name and they came out with
Lansoprazole. It is'nt much cheaper but cheaper none the less. Lansoprazole we pay $482.99 for 90 pills. DD take 3 aday. Prevacid was $589.98 for 90 pills. A hundred dollars
is a hundred dollars. It does add up over time.
