Prilosec OTC, Omeprazole Delayed Release, Acid Reducer, Treats Frequent Heartburn for 24 Hour Relief*, #1 Doctor Recommended Brand**, 28 Tablets

Works better than generics

I can say that I am only 4 days in and I think that this is going to be a happy marriage. Been on this for only a short time but I feel so much better throughout the day, because of my acid reflux and my mild occasional heart burn. I could tell right away that the irritating problem was under control, but would be under total control if I would just change my diet a little bit. But since I don't really want to give up coffee, and being Italian, it would probably be illegal if I gave up tomatoes. I have also started to buy low acid coffee from Trader Joes and That has helped as well cut down on the reflux, but this pill is a magic pill. I would definitely tell those who are suffering like me, from reflux and heart burn to consider this pill because it works, and it is very cheap. My doctor recommended these pills to me and he gave this baseball analogy for Prilosec..."if your starter is getting shelled, bring in some relief."

I tried many things, but this works actually even better than over the counter.Items

This is another good product

My go to for acid reflux

These medications, like Prilosec, and the stronger Nexium, are meant to be taken daily, not on an "as needed" basis like you might take Tums or Rolaids. Of course, they're meant to relieve heartburn, also called Acid Reflux, or GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.) To work the best, take it routinely--every day--just as you would take Blood Pressure medication. AND, be sure your doctor or health care provider KNOWS you are taking this or any other over-the-counter (OTC) med. Some interact with prescription medications that are more important for you to take. If a person is still having on-going heartburn, mid-chest pain, pain in your throat, these CAN be heart symptoms too...GET CHECKED OUT! Once you know you only have simple heartburn, easily controlled by the Prilosec then you're ok to take it. But anyone with severe heartburn: up half the night due to discomfort, sleeping sitting up, and that sort of thing, needs to really see a doctor and make sure what is going on. In some cases patients with really severe heartburn that is affecting their lives on a daily (or nightly!) basis, need to seen a Gastroenterologist, the kind of specialist that can look down into your esophagus (swallowing tube) and stomach, and make sure there are no ulcers or anything else wrong. Depending on your insurance you may need a referral from your primary doctor to see a specialist for this; but if the heartburn is that severe, and any heart problems have been ruled out; then it may be the best thing to do. I hope this helps a little. I know many people severely suffer with heartburn. Some other things that help: lose weight, put a brick, block or something about 2-4" under the top two legs of your bed to raise the head of the bed. That helps gravity work to keep the acid reflux from your stomach IN your stomach. Don't eat late at night. Eat a dinner at 6 pm or so, then don't snack or drink alcohol, as this will worsen the acid reflux (heartburn). Good luck!

This is the only one that works well for me. Tried Zantac, Tums and Alka Seltzer and this is the only one that keeps my acid in check.
