    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.

          both my husband and i would get such horrible pain in the upper center of our chests caused by eating too much red sauce and acidic drinks. i wouldn't say it always works overnight, but close to it! if you're indigestion is bad enough, it will quickly relieve you of some of that pain, but it's gonna help you big time if you just take it daily. never take more than the recommended dose of this product!

                    The only over-the-counter product I've found that works as advertised. It was recommended by my doctor after my insurance company cancelled my prescription coverage. Nothing else has worked as well.

                      Both my wife and me use it daily. We both swear by it and would recommend it to others. Whether certain foods bother you or, you have been diagnosed with GERD, it really works. An over the counter drug that does what it claims.
