    I've got GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) and as such, if I don't take an acid reducer, I'm in a world of hurt. When Prilosec first went OTC, it meant I was actually paying *more* for the medication than with insurance, so naturally I tended to go for the generic when available. Unfortunately, neither the brand-name nor the generic was in user-friendly packaging - it was impossible to get the pills out of the blister-pack without either gouging my fingers, or resorting to scissors.

    Well, Prilosec's manufacturer's finally improved the packaging so that no weapons were required - and I'm back to buying the brand name. The extra cost for brand-name vs. generic is worth it (about 5.00 a package).

    Don't get me wrong, the packaging still stinks. Why on earth do a blister-pack when a bottle would be so much easier? And even the improved blister-pack requires a fair bit of manual dexterity and strengh to use - you have to push the pill through a very thick layer of paper to get it out.

    I took this product and all went well the first two days. This was the first time I'd tried it. The third evening within half an hour of taking it or less I began having a severe reaction to it. There wasn't a place on my body from my toes to the top of my head that did not itch severly and feel in pain it was so bad. Of course it was a time release 24 hour tablet and it took about 30 hours for the effects to finally wear off. Just thought I should warn it's possible some people can't take this. I really wanted to as I was so pleased it seemed to be working the first 2 days. This is only the second time I've ever had this particular reaction to a drug and first for an over the counter one.

              These type of products are difficult to evaluate because I believe it depends on the person. While this product works for me,Zantac or Pepsid may work better for someone else. This as well as the others mentioned are all good products and work well.

                This product works just as well as the prescription meds for heartburn, and I don't need to be bothered with getting a script, mailing it in and waiting for it to come back.

                      I originally was prescribed "Prilosec" many years ago. All of a sudden this medication was put OTC. My doctor immediately recommended "Nexium"...(kickback). It had reached the point that I couldn't afford "Nexium" anymore so I returned back to "Prilosec". It works just as good as the prescribed medicine. Always watch what your doctor prescribes because they don't care really about your health, they just want to get richer. Believe me, I learned the hard way...I almost died.

                        This was a great value for the price. We always paid more at other stores. I use it daily and my heartburn and other stomach issues are gone.

                        Difficult foil packaging. I am always poping them out on to the floor or chasing them under the table. Next time I am going generic.
