Some other medications such as ketoconazole (Nizoral) ampicillin (Omnipen Principen) digoxin (Lanoxin Lanoxicaps) and iron (Feosol Mol-Iron Fergon Femiron) may have decreased effects because Prevacid hinders their absorption from the stomach. Tell your doctor if you are taking any of these medications. Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with Prevacid. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines including vitamins minerals and herbal products.
