What Causes Flushing On The Neck And Face While On Prevacid?
Ive been on dexilant for a long time and got along well with it. Insurance now is making it more expensive and pushing me to 30mg of prevacid which I take in the am. Lately I ve noticed daily flushing on my neck and face in the late afternoon like an adrenalin rush. Could it be the prevacid?

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, though it's less likely to cause such side effect.
However, it can still occur but other causes of flushing need to be ruled out especially on endocrine work up with Thyroid levels and urinary metanephrines.
If needed and blood pressure and heart rate may also be monitored.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
