| Benefits: | | Taken each morning 30 minutes before eating, keep me from having any acid reflux. One daily dosage worked for the entire day. Even into the evening, if I ate spicy food or chocolate, I could go to bed without experiencing any heart burn. |
| Side effects: | | None that I have encountered. |
| Comments: | | I have been taking meds for my acid reflux for many years, originally Omeprazole (generic for Prilosec). However, becaus Omeprazole was not on my insurance drug formulary, I was taking Prilosec OTC. At my last check-up my doctor prescribed the Prevacid and I like it. It even tastes like strawberries! |
