May 24, 2001 -- For most people, laryngitis is an occasional annoyance that happens when you have a cold or your allergies act up, but for some people it can last for weeks or months and nothing they try -- from resting their voice to downing as much honey and lemon as they can stand -- seems to make it any better. Now new research suggests the same medicine used to treat chronic heartburn can help hoarse voices get back to normal relatively quickly. In a study of 22 people with chronic laryngitis, the acid-suppressing drug Prevacid, taken twice a day, cured laryngitis signs and symptoms in 50% of people who took it, reports the study's lead author Hashem B. El-Serag, MD. Only 10% of people who took a look-alike placebo got similar results. prevacid medicine prevacid rebate offer prevacid rectal fda prevacid storage specifications
