Customer Reviews of Prevacid 24HR Caps 42-Count
Customer Review: Prevacid is the Gold Standard for GRD
Summary: 5 Stars
I've taken Prevacid for over 30 years. My insurance used to pay for it and then a few years back they stopped. I've tried ALL of the other GRD medicines and none of them WORK FOR ME. So when Prevacid went OTC I started buying it again. I had throat cancer in 2001 and it was largely caused by a two pack a day smoking habit (haven't had a cigarette in 28 years now) but it was also acerbated by my GRD and recently I had a scare when I had hoarseness for three weeks. My ENT told me that I am still cancer free but SILENT GRD is causing most of my throat problems and I need to attend to this. So he told me to take 2 Prevacids twice a day (60mgs a day) and to take them before meals. I had been taking one Prevacid at night and he said this was of no use. The Prevacid only works well with meals and only at the 30 mg dose. I urge you to not stint on this as GRD is one of the leading causes of not only esophogial cancer but throat cancer and stomach cancers as well. I'm now ordering the Prevacid by bulk and I'm going back on 4 pllls a day.
Now my son also has GRD and is taking ...I believe Prilosec and is doing fine with it. So I urge all of you to test the different OTCs and take the one that works for you but do not make cost a factor. It is your life.
Customer Review: Great price for this & works well :)
Summary: 5 Stars
Originally I was using prescription Protonix for 3 years and it worked well with my system. Then, I got laid off from my job and lost my insurance so I stopped using it when I finished my current bottle (The cash price is exorbitant for those w/out insurance):(
After stopping Protonix, I eventually switched to OTC Omeprazole. But the monthly cost on this (even being OTC), I found to be out of my budget.
So, after careful consideration & others suggestions, I switched to Prevacid. I bought it directly from amazon, at their usual amazing pricing.
After a few days, I found the product worked well with my system, and the 42 count package was the same price I would have paid for a 14 Day supply of Omeprazole!!
So, for me I got an excellent deal, savings and my system has been working as if it were still on the Protonix!
In fact, I just reordered my second 42 count supply of this & will continue to.
I recommend this to anyone with Gastrointestinal problems such as Acid Relux, Heartburn..etc : )
Five Stars! ;)
Customer Review: FANTASTIC Buy and Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really great product that works well, and the $11+ price that I paid" with subscribe and save " for 42 tabs is less than half of what you would pay any where else.
These tabs are 15 MG, prescription strength is 30 MG. I get slight reflux and acid indigestion on occasion and find the 15 MG generally works just fine. But if I plan on eating some spicy Italian or Mexican food, I'll take 2 or 30 MG well before I eat.
The key to taking these is Not to take them with food. They seem to work best if you take them at least a 1/2 hour or more before you eat. I find if taken properly I have no acid problems whatsoever. Everyone is different so you have to work out your own regiment with these. All I know is they work great for me, my acid problems are a thing of the past that is of course that I don't forget to take them which does happen.
Tip ::: The price will fluctuate on these. You just have to watch it over time till you get the right price than buy a little extra till next time.
Customer Review: Amazing Product ... It Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I suffered from heartburn/reflux a few times a week, usually caused by eating/drinking the wrong thing, or too much of it. Took the extra strength Zantac whenever the heartburn/reflux flared up, but that really never worked that well, and there was always a lag effect anyway ... it wasn't preventative.
Prevacid is amazing, a wonder drug. Been on it for about 6 months now. After the first two week period, I stopped taking it per instructions on the package. I didn't have one bout while taking it, but within a couple days the heartburn returned. When I asked my physician about it, he said I could continue to take it every day, in perpetuity. Six months later, I can tell you that I NEVER get heartburn any more. What a relief. And I continue to eat/drink whatever I want.
Customer Review: works great if you take the correct dosage
Summary: 5 Stars
prevacid does work well if you take the correct dosage. I took prevacid by prescription 30mgs and it work wonders on my reflux. Then I stopped taking it and it came back. Doctor put me on acipex, then my health insurance starting charging a 100 dolloar co pay. I started to take prevacid otc, but only took on pill 15mgs. the refux came back in a few days. I looked at the bottle and realized it was half of prescription strength and starting taking two pills. reflux improved after days and no problems since. its not unusual a drug that goes otc to have a lower dosage than when it was available by sript. so if it is not working for you, take two pills at once and you will be taking prescription strength dosage.
