Prilosec OTC Acid Reducer, Delayed-Release Tablets - 42 ea

Changed my life! (2010-02-23) : 5/5
I chose this over the prescribed generic from my physician because I thought it was superior. I take one tablet with water when I arise. It lasts through the day and night with complete relief from heartburn. I can't believe I waited so long to try it.
Acid reducer (2010-02-14) : 5/5
I was looking for something that would stop my indigestion on a regular basis. Prilosec has been the answer so far. It took several days for it to start working.It is not something that you only take one dose as needed. Each treatment is for 14 days.
Cheapest brand-name anywhere, better packaging! (2010-02-12) : 5/5
Prilosec works well to control my GERD. The generic works just as well and is generally 5 dollars cheaper per 42-count than the brand name.

So why buy brand-name?

THE PACKAGING!!!

Yeah, it's still in blister-cards only - which I believe is utterly irresponsible as they are nearly-impossible to open if you've got any kind of dexterity or strength problems... BUT at least the brand-name is now in a version that most people can open without injuring themselves or having to resort to scissors. It requires some strength to force one end of the pill through the thick paperboard backing, but at least you *can* do this now. Formerly (and still with the generics), you have to somehow peel the tough, thin layer of plastic foil off the back - hopefully without goughing yourself on something - and then push the pill out. We usually just got out the scissors, and opened up a week's worth at once.

Amazon's price for the 42-count brand name - about 21-22 dollars - is the cheapest I've found anywhere lately. I'll definitely be buying from them in the future.
