(7 reviews)Editorial Review: Prilosec OTC is different from other over-the-counter heartburn medication. The lining of your stomach produces acid through millions of tiny acid pumps. When you eat, these pumps switch on to produce the acid that breaks down food. Prilosec OTC works by directly blocking many active pumps. Your stomach still produces enough acid to digest the food you eat. But by reducing the acid, Prilosec OTC lessens the chance that you will suffer from frequent heartburn. Prilosec OTC directly shuts down many active pumps and each daily dose works up to 24 hours. Use as directed as part of a 14-day course of therapy.

works when other generic didn't, 2008-10-17Although I was surprised when product was in capsule form, I talked to a friend who has used Prilosec for years and was told it used to be capsules also. Although other tablet forms of generic didn't work for my friend, this capsule form did!! And it is a great price!

Buyer beward, 2008-10-11Shame on Amazon to allow a picture of boxed product to be shown with a different product to be shipped. It is not produced in US. It is produced in India. Read the small print.

Would not purchase again, 2008-10-04This product, while shown as coming in a box, came in blister packs that were rubber banded together (I know that is listed later on in the description, but they should not display a box). It looks suspicious, and some of the packs look as if they had been crushed. The pills do not look like the normal Prilosec pills. I decided not to risk it and disposed of the pills. I would not recommend this product due to the uncertainty of its quality and packaging.

Good enough, 2008-09-24Official Prilosec comes in annoying blister packs, this pictured a box so I expected it to come in a bottle. Instead, they come in a different annoying blister pack. It's essentially two layers of foil with the capsule in between. It's much easier to access, but the capsules tend to stick to the foil. As others noted, it's a capsule with granules inside which is distinctly different from the real ones. Store-brand generics of Aleve look exactly the same, but I don't know that it's a problem. I've been taking them for 2 weeks now and haven't noticed any difference.

Suspicious of this product, 2008-09-14This generic of Prilosec doesn't look like any other generic I have purchased before. It is a clear capsule while all the others, including the "real" Prilosec are pink hard tablet. The markings on the blister pack are Chinese which makes me very leary. In additon, since I have been using this product, which by the way I have quit taking, I have expeerienced serious stomach problems. I would really think twice about ordering this version of the generic Prilosec.
