As proton pump inhibitors, both Prevacid and Prilosec are good at treating gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD , a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and possible injury of the esophagus.

Prevacid may be administered via feeding tube. Prilosec may be given through a tube into the stomach. Both Prevacid and Prilosec should be stored at room temperature, away from light, excessive heat , and moisture. If stored this way, Prevacid and Prilosec can last for up to three years. Both Prevacid and Prilosec show significant inhibition in the production of acid in the stomach.
They begin working within 24 hours, but up to four days may pass before their effects are noticeable. Over long-term use, Prevacid is more effective than Prilosec. Common side effects for Prevacid and Prilosec are the same, including constipation, gas, nausea, vomiting and headache. Rare but severe side effects include excessive tiredness, dizziness, lightheadedness, muscle spasms, uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body, seizures, diarrhea with watery stools, stomach pain, fever, and irregular, fast, or pounding heartbeat.
Prevacid, Prilosec, Nexium vs Prilosec , and Zantac may produce allergic reactions such as difficulty or pain in swallowing, skin rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, and swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs.
