    I was relieved to find that this OTC version of Prevacid worked the first day. I'm glad this lower dose form was effective. It relieved the gnawing stomach pain, nausea, and the acid burning up into my throat. After a week or so, I could talk or read out loud without getting hoarse and sing without hurting my vocal chords. I could finally eat and drink anything I wanted without suffering, and I could lay down without choking. Before taking Prevacid, I would have a horrible night cough due to all the throat irritation from the acid and it would make me vomit. My stomach would churn up acid whether empty or full, it didn't matter, and my throat was almost always sore.

    The side effect I experienced mainly was a digestive change. I got gassy much more easily while taking this medicine. However, I rather deal with a gas bubbles cramp than acid reflux.

    Before Prevacid I was using TUMS or a regular calcium supplement tablet and Famotidine 20mg twice a day, which decreased but never eliminated my acid reflux symptoms. If you have bad acid reflux and calcium and/or H2 blockers aren't enough, Prevacid might be worth trying. It's the first PPI I've ever tried, but it worked for me.

    2-15 mg OTC Prevacid does not = 30 mg

    Very disappointed with the product. 2-15 mg OTC Prevacid is not equal in effectiveness to the 30mg brand name Prevacid time-release capsule.

              I use Prevacid everyday for acid reflux. I don't know what I would do without the effectiveness that Prevacid affords me. Until something even better comes along, I'll use Prevacid.

                this works to reduce stomach acid as no other. must be taken before problem happens, not after the acid is already in the stomach causing problems.

                  My work recently switched our Insurance to United Health Care which is Awful! The copay for 30 day supply of 30 mg Prevacid is $50. I got 40 days supply from drugstore.com for [$]. I will be ordering again It works great! I have been taking Prevacid for over 10 years. Nothing else works for me.

                    I have used this for years, even before it was available over the counter. My digestive system acts up badly if I go without taking it for over 2 days so I try never to be without it!

                      Many years ago my ENT doctor prescribed Prevacid for my esophageal reflux and it worked well to control my symptoms of sore throat and metallic taste in my mouth. After awhile my insurance company did not want to pay the higher price for the name-brand drug and encouraged me to try Protonix, which I did. A couple of years later, insurance no longer wanted to pay for the prescription brand, so encouraged me to use the over the counter, Prilosec, which I did. Fortunately, about the time symptoms began to return, Prevacid was made OTC. I have been using it ever since with no return of symptoms.

                        This is the best medication for Acid Reflux or at least that I have tried. I was so glad when it was sold over the counter.I take one every night along with sensible eating habits to control my Acid Reflux.
