Customer ReviewsPrilosec is a Potent Stomach Acid Inhibitor
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :2
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.

Good stuff

After losing my prescription benefits when I changed jobs due to pre-existing condition rules, I could not afford to purchase Protonix, a very effective acid reflux reducer. Not being able to imagine more days of painful regurgitation, I ran to the store to see what they had to offer. I tried a few over the counters, had a few bad acid days and finally tried Prilosec OTC. It relieved my symptoms as well as Protonix.
The only bummer is that I have to take it every day - not just for 14 days at a time. My doctor tells me this is alright and will have no long term ill effects.
Prilosec can do the job better

I use Prilosec to control chronic excess acid production and the resulting discomfort. I experimented briefly with a more potent prescription medicine that became available at about the time that P. became available over the counter. Not only am I back on Prilosec but I have had good success with gradually reducing the dosage from one tablet per day to now less than 1/2 - with the goal of getting "off" this medicine entirely. The cost of Prilosec is less than that of prescription medicines - less than that of a newer prescription medicine, and less than Prilosecs cost when it still required a prescription. For more on this sidelight on our health system see my recent review of Zyrtec, an allergy drug.
Not just for acid reflux

Im prone to ulcers and other GI problems, so Im under doctors orders to take this daily (not just for the 14 day dosage). Believe me, when i skip more than a day, I notice it! This stuff works better than any prescription Ive been on! No wonder my local drug stores cant keep it stocked!

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.
