Product Reviews of Prilosec OTC- Delayed-Release Acid Reducer, 84ct (3 Month Supply)
Product Review: Prilosec OTC
Summary: 5 Stars
My Dr switched me from one of the prescription drugs to Prilosec OTC. I can't tell the difference. It works great for me.Product Review: I kissed that heartburn and acid goodbye !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
Prilosec OTC saved the day for me on numerous occasions when I had heartburn. This drug also fights acid in your stomach; and that's a big help! The tablets are easy to swallow and you should use them before any expiration date printed on the outside of the purple box.
My one complaint is that Prilosec takes one to four days for it to give you the full effect. Although they say that some people get full relief in one day, it took me a couple of days to get the full effect. If you must have total relief from your stomach trouble right away then you need to choose another drug. This does disappoint me so I will take off one star to make this a four star review.
Of course, if you have any questions about this drug that aren't addressed on the outside package then you should consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Overall, Prilosec worked for me and I hope you get relief from it. It isn't for everybody because it can take one to four days for people to get the "full effect;" but it does help many, many people.
Four stars.
Product Review: Prilosec is a Potent Stomach Acid Inhibitor
Summary: 4 Stars
For those that suffer with frequent heartburn or have frequent instances of gastric reflux, Prilosec is a literal lifesaver.
Stomach acid is strong stuff (pH of 1), and belongs in the stomach, not in the esophagus, where it can cause burning of the esophageal lining (heartburn). If this happens frequently, the esophagus can be badly damaged. Gastro-Esophageal Reflex Disease (GERD)can also cause severe erosive damage to the teeth if stomach acid is burped into the mouth frequently. The tooth enamel is literally eroded away, and teeth become very sensitive and permanently damaged.
To save your teeth and esophagus, Prilosec has come to the rescue. Prilosec is a former prescription product in a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. This means that the effect of Prilosec is to dramatically decrease stomach acid production. This is also beneficial for treatment of stomach ulcers, which need a minimal acid environment to heal. Before starting Prilosec, it is always advisable to talk to your doctor. Also, read the product insert to see what side-effects and medication interactions are possible.
Prilosec is taken once a day for 14 days in a typical course (thus, it is generally packaged in groups of 14 tablets). Most people have considerable relief beyond the 14 day course. It is not a product to take for immediate (within minutes) treatment of heartburn. The insert on the box states it takes at least a day to 4 days to reach its full effect. Each person will vary in terms of relief and how long the relief lasts.
