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.

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.
