| Comments: | | Laryngopharyngeal Reflux has caused a Eustachian Tube (ET) dysfunction. A reduction of reflux episodes was a necessary condition for the regeneration of the ET. Progress has already been achieved: inflammations of the ET have been reduced, the tissue surrounding the ET is regenerating. |

| | Zegerid review by 59 year old female patient | | | Rating |
| Overall rating: | | |
| Effectiveness: | | Considerably Effective |
| Side effects: | | No Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | acid reflux |
| Dosage & duration: | | 20 mg taken once a day for the period of 1 year |
| Other conditions: | | I also struggle with high cholesterol and bone density issues |
| Other drugs taken: | | Just vitamins and other suppliments | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | I have a great reduction in stomach acid problems. When I've tried to use natural products like Alo Vera juice or licorice-based products, to take care of the problem, it is very difficult, and I have to take products throughout the day to have any success whatsoever. So taking one pill first thing in the morning holds me most of the day, though I often begin to get some acid in the evening. |
| Side effects: | | As far as I can tell, there are no side effects. I have heard things about these proton inhibitors doing something to the bones, though, making for bone problems, but there's no way I can tell whether it's happening to me. My bone situation has actually improved while on this medication because I've been working out in the gym with weights. |
| Comments: | | The simplicity is one of the best features. I take the pill with a glass of water first thing in the morning, wait at least 1/2 an hour before eating anything, and I'm done! |
