  Prevacid NapraPAC 500

Prevacid NapraPAC contains a combination of naproxen and lansoprazole. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. It decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

Prevacid NapraPAC is used to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. The lansoprazole in Prevacid NapraPAC helps reduce the risk of stomach ulcers in people who may be at risk for them while receiving treatment with an NSAID.
