Prevacid Vs Prilosec Side Effects
Both Priolosec and Prevacid are stomach acid-reducers used to treat ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). They may also be used to treat other conditions associated with having too much stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and dyspepsia. Both medications have bothersome side effects; however, it appears that Prilosec has more adverse symptoms than Prevacid.
