Warning: Can cause severe vomiting

by Peter

in Florida on 11/12/09

Pros: None

Cons: Causes Side Effects

Describe Yourself: First Time User

Best Uses: None

Bottom Line: not recommended

I experienced diarrhea and severe vomiting after taking only 1 caplet. If I would have taken the 3 caplets recommended on the bottle, I would have had to have gone to the hospital. I experienced diarrhea several times and vomited at least a dozen times over a 4 hour period. I have not felt that sick since I had appendicitis. I had to call poison control for advice and was very close to going to the hospital it was that awful. I have read online that other people have had the same experience with this type of product. Also I noticed this product is not FDA approved. I believe this product can be very dangerous to some people. Apparently doctors and poison control are not aware of the potential allergy to this product and refuse to accept it, but believe me it is real and very very dangerous.

So disappointed

Bottom Line: not recommended

These caplets are only 300 units, must take three at one time for a full serving. The price is high. When ordering we thought it would save us money. We didn't realize it would take three caplets are one time. The price is much to high.[...]

It works!

Bottom Line: recommended

I am slightly lactose intolerant. Using this product, far cheaper than Lactaind, the symptoms, including an upset stomach and complications thereof, are greatly reduced. I highly recommend it.

Not worth the money

When these were on sale at the old price, they were a good deal. Now that the price has gone up, not so much.If you read the information on the back of the bottle and compare it to Lactaid Ultra, it's the same...however, the serving size for this brand is 3 caplet and the serving size for Lactaid Ultra is 1 caplet. In other words, you need to take 3 of these for every 1 Lactaid Ultra. [$] The only positive is the fact that these aren't individually wrapped.

Not Ultra

by Chip

Bottom Line: not recommended

I like this brand much better than Lactaid, as the pills are not individually wrapped like Lactaid is. When you want to take a few, having to unwrap each one separately is really annoying. And trying to carry them with you is worse -- the wrappers really bulk the Lactaid ones up (and as I learned once, the Lactaid foil liners set off airport metal detectors to boot). But don't be confused -- this is not the Ultra strength. You have to take three of these to equal one Ultra. Better to get the Ultra strength version instead of the original strength one so you don't have to take, or carry, as many. I could not find the Ultra version on Drugstore.com currently, so had to buy it at the store whose name is on the bottle (the review acceptance system does not allow me to include that name).

For the price that ...

For the price that drugstore.com offers these at, these are the best value out there. They have the same ingredients as the more expensive Lactaid brand and for those of us who are mildly lactose intolerant they do the job. I take a few before I drink a glass of milk and it prevents the painful intestinal cramps and bloating that I would always experience, especially the next morning.
