Customer Reviews: 1 of 1 found this review helpful: Full relief and allows you to heal, 2008-06-22 I started using prilosec for severe acid reflux a couple of years ago as a preventive after years of treating symptoms with other drugs like Tagamet. Those drugs worked fine, but I wanted to prevent reflux all the time without having to plan ahead. At the time, I experienced reflux heartburn at least four nights per week. Not only was it interfering with my sleep and happiness, it had burned my esophagus to the point where I was experiencing "hanging" food -- rough pieces of food hanging up on the scar tissue in the esophagus, which caused discomfort and occasional vomiting. In addition, certain strong liquids, such as neat whiskey, which I greatly enjoy, burned so much going down that I had to stop drinking them. Two years later, after steady daily use of Prilosec, I do not experience any reflux symptoms. Not only that, my esophagus has healed almost completely. I very rarely have a food hang-up episode (maybe twice a year), and I'm able to eat and drink anything I want without concern about reflux heartburn. Although the package says to use for a 14-day cycle, my gastro doc told me not to worry about that and use it as long as it works for me. So far, I've had no side effects. It's possible there could be some minor or major issue from using this for years and years, but it has literally changed my life. I have to say it's worth the risk, and my doc thinks so too. 1 of 1 found this review helpful: Prilosec OTC, 2008-06-09 My Dr switched me from one of the prescription drugs to Prilosec OTC. I can't tell the difference. It works great for me. 11 of 11 found this review helpful: I kissed that heartburn and acid goodbye !!!, 2008-01-20 IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING Prilosec OTC saved the day for me on numerous occasions when I had heartburn. This drug also fights acid in your stomach; and that's a big help! The tablets are easy to swallow and you should use them before any expiration date printed on the outside of the purple box. My one complaint is that Prilosec takes one to four days for it to give you the full effect. Although they say that some people get full relief in one day, it took me a couple of days to get the full effect. If you must have total relief from your stomach trouble right away then you need to choose another drug. This does disappoint me so I will take off one star to make this a four star review. Of course, if you have any questions about this drug that aren't addressed on the outside package then you should consult your doctor or pharmacist. Overall, Prilosec worked for me and I hope you get relief from it. It isn't for everybody because it can take one to four days for people to get the "full effect;" but it does help many, many people. Four stars. 1 of 1 found this review helpful: Saves me from ulcer pains, 2007-10-16 I've been taking prilosec for the past couple years, on and off, to help with my ulcer and horrible acid problem. Like the reviewer before me said about stomach acid corroding your teeth and everything else...very true. It already has started happening to me, though you'd never be able to tell without looking at my back molars. Anyways, I took this for about 6 months every night that I remembered and after less than a month, I was feeling much less nauseous waking up in the morning and the random stomach pains I would get had been drastically cut back. I stopped taking it and still had relief but it came back after about a month of heavy stress. I can say this one thing...If you often wake up in the morning feeling nauseous, and aren't always drunk the night before, try taking a prilosec every night before bed for at least a couple of weeks. It has really helped me with my ulcers and overall digestive health...Especially when stress builds up. 3 of 3 found this review helpful: Prilosec is a Potent Stomach Acid Inhibitor, 2007-04-29 For those that suffer with frequent heartburn or have frequent instances of gastric reflux, Prilosec is a literal lifesaver. Stomach acid is strong stuff (pH of 1), and belongs in the stomach, not in the esophagus, where it can cause burning of the esophageal lining (heartburn). If this happens frequently, the esophagus can be badly damaged. Gastro-Esophageal Reflex Disease (GERD)can also cause severe erosive damage to the teeth if stomach acid is burped into the mouth frequently. The tooth enamel is literally eroded away, and teeth become very sensitive and permanently damaged. To save your teeth and esophagus, Prilosec has come to the rescue. Prilosec is a former prescription product in a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. This means that the effect of Prilosec is to dramatically decrease stomach acid production. This is also beneficial for treatment of stomach ulcers, which need a minimal acid environment to heal. Before starting Prilosec, it is always advisable to talk to your doctor. Also, read the product insert to see what side-effects and medication interactions are possible. Prilosec is taken once a day for 14 days in a typical course (thus, it is generally packaged in groups of 14 tablets). Most people have considerable relief beyond the 14 day course. It is not a product to take for immediate (within minutes) treatment of heartburn. The insert on the box states it takes at least a day to 4 days to reach its full effect. Each person will vary in terms of relief and how long the relief lasts.
