Customer Reviews of Prilosec OTC Acid Reducer, Delayed-Release Tablets - 28 ea
Customer Review: I suffered from heartburn everyday regardless of my diet.
Summary: 5 Stars
I suffered from heartburn everyday regardless of my diet. I now take 1 Prilosec a day and have no heartburn anymore!Customer Review: Prevacid works great but it still requires a prescription and Nexium caused side effects in me.
Summary: 5 Stars
As my acid reflux worsened over the years, I made the usual progression from antacid tablets, to Pepcid AC, and eventually to prescription medications like Prevacid and Nexium. Prevacid works great but it still requires a prescription and Nexium caused side effects in me. Once Prilosec was offered over the counter I gave it a try and was very impressed. After a week or two of taking it every day, I was able to decrease the dosage to the point where I only take it as needed now. Once I feel heartburn starting, or I eat something guaranteed to give me heartburn, I just take one of these and its gone in about 30 minutes...and when I say gone I mean gone for 10-12 hours.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers acid reflux or chronic heartburn.
Customer Review: It is in the same class as Prevacid...
Summary: 5 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 (hertburn). 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 decrease stomach acid production. This is also beneficial for treatment of stomach ulcers, which need a minimal acid environment to heal.
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.
Prilosec is a very good medicine for the treatment of GERD. It is in the same class as Prevacid, so if Prilosec gives you undesirable side effects, try Prevacid and the side effects may be lessened.

Customer Review: I was given a Gold Box coupon that made this smaller size box even cheaper per pill than the larger box.
Summary: 4 Stars
See my review of prilosec at the 42 box count.... I was given a Gold Box coupon that made this smaller size box even cheaper per pill than the larger box. Ordinarily, I buy the larger size for that reason only. Prilosec, itself, is an outstanding acid reducer. I highly recommend it for those folks who have acid reflux (burping up acid when lying down or bending over).
