A patient requests a renewal of their medication for stomach acid. They are not sure what it is but thinks it’s called a proton pump inhibitor. Which of the following drugs on this patient’s profile will be filled?

Ranitidine (Zantac)
Lansoprazole (Prevacid)
Misoprostol

The correct answer is: Lansoprazole (Prevacid)

Lansoprazole (Prevacid) is the correct choice because it is a proton pump inhibitor, which is a class of medication used to reduce stomach acid. Ranitidine (Zantac) is a histamine H2 antagonist, which can also be used to reduce stomach acid but it is not specifically a proton pump inhibitor. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin analog and is used to prevent stomach ulcers. Therefore, it is not the correct choice for a renewal of a medication to reduce stomach acid.
