Editorial Reviews: Prilosec OTC is different from other over-the-counter heartburn medication. The lining of your stomach produces acid through millions of tiny acid pumps. When you eat, these pumps switch on to produce the acid that breaks down food. Prilosec OTC works by directly blocking many active pumps. Your stomach still produces enough acid to digest the food you eat. But by reducing the acid, Prilosec OTC lessens the chance that you will suffer from frequent heartburn. Prilosec OTC directly shuts down many active pumps and each daily dose works up to 24 hours. Use as directed as part of a 14-day course of therapy.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Works but not without bad side effects Comment: I have really bad acid reflux, and this works very well for it, but the side effects are almost not worth the benefits. Ever since I've been taking Prilosec OTC, I've experienced extreme weight gain that I cannot lose, excessive uncomfortable gas and bloating almost constantly, and a generally upset stomach. I tried to stop using Prilosec for a few weeks and the symptoms went away. I felt so much better, no gas or bloating, my stomach felt great, and I started to lose weight. Unfortunately the acid reflux was too unbearable so I had to return to Prilosec, and the symptoms came back immediately and I gained the back weight I lost plus some. My experience has been verified by many other people on Prilosec who went through the same thing. I can't wait to find something that works as an alternative. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease (LPR) too! Comment: This drug has done wonders in getting me through a bad bout of laryngopharyngeal reflux disorder--in which the typical symptoms of heartburn aren't recognizable. A much needed and very effective, as well as easy to take, drug that has no side effects! Customer Rating: Summary: An OTC lifesaver for expensive medicine!! Comment: I've used this for years as an alternative to the expensive prescription AR reducers. It is awesome! Customer Rating: Summary: It's a better life with the use of prilosec Comment: I use to, like many, wake up in the middle night grabbing my chest in pain, not being able to sleep. I started taking this and life is better. This is going to sound foolishly irresponsible, but now, I eat whatever I want and still be fine when I'm sleeping. Whatever parts of my body (and figure) may be deteriorating but as far as heartburn goes, i don't feel a thing. I've been taking this for over 2 years now. I know the box says you should stop after a few weeks, but I have no plans for that (and my doctor said it was fine). It does take a few days, like the box says for the medicine to work. I have gradually tried to go to a cheaper generic version of the prilosec (the back of the box list the same thing!) but for some reason, whether it is illogical or psychological, i feel that the prilosec brand is by far the best and worth the extra money. My suggestion is the check out ebay where you can get it for about 2/3 of the listed price here on amazon or your local store. One of thing, if this applies to you - there seems to be some sort of coating the the prilosec pills. With the generic ones, i can taste the chalking of it, meaning it starts to break up once you put it in your mouth, leaving you with that nasty taste until you grab your cup of water. But the prilosec, it is dry and you have a few seconds to sallow. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product, Fast Shipping Comment: This is a great product that I depend on every day. Shipping was fast and product is exactly as described. Will purchase again. Thanks Amazon for providing us with OTC drugs. More Reviews
