    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.

        This is the best product I could find in lieu of Nexxium. The price could be lower; the off brand seems to work well too....I just purchased some and the jury is still out on that one.

                    After an endoscopy, my gastroenterologist wrote a prescription for this stuff in 40 mg strength. Just a handful of tabs was $177! No way. After I stopped screaming, the pharmacist said I should simply buy the 20 mg OTC, and double up if needed. His advice works perfectly for me, and at 1/8 the price.

                      I use this instead of a previous prescription that I had been taking. It is less expensive and I can use it chronically (according to the pharmacist). It works almost as well as my prescription, but from time to time I need to take another OTC medication along with it, although I understand you can take two a day of these from time to time if necessary. I only take one a day and it works very well.
