EDG results!!!

Hi Everyone!!! I just received a prescription in the mail from Dr.Irgau for Prevpac.....has anyone heard of it and does anyone know whether it has a generic brand...I talk to the Pharmists who told me the price...300.00 wow.......I am going to call the office to see if something else can be prescribe alittle less expensive....if you have used this med..what does it consist of?.....please write me back....Thanks Gail Burke

Hi Gail, Yep, I have used it and don't know of a generic. It consists of 14 days of meds. You take 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening. The four pills are 1 Prevacid, 1 Biaxin, and 2 Trimox. LOL all I can say is be darn glad they got yours as a pre-op and not post. I didn't get my positive H-Pylori DX bac****il AFTER surgery and I had to choke all that stuff down as a newbie post-op ...eeeek! lol My insurance paid for mine. You don't have a prescription plan? Remember, you will be required to take a script for Actigall for six months after surgery, that one does come in a generic form tho ( just wanted you to be aware of that incase getting prescriptions were a problem ) The heavy dose of antibiotics in the PrevPack can cause a yeast infection, however a script for Diflucan fixed that right up. That's the only problem I had with it other than having to be VERY creative in being able to swallow all that crap twice a day with my new baby tummy. Linda

Hi Linda!!! thanks for replying.......I did check the web and didn't see a generic brand......and again I say thanks..for writing to me....Gail
