Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Both- Zantac and Prevacid- are anti-acid drugs and have the same function. So, taking Zantac daily will be AS EFFECTIVE AS alternating Zantac and Prevacid.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
