Customer Reviews

Great Product, Fast Shipping
This is a great product that I depend on every day. Shipping was fast and product is exactly as described. Will purchase again. Thanks Amazon for providing us with OTC drugs.

Excellent Product.
I had severe Acid Reflux/Heartburn usually requiring me to take multiple antacids throughout the day. Some days I would consume as much as 8000mg of calcium carbonate a day. With prilosec OTC one pill a day does the job. Enchiladas or fried foods it makes no difference. The burn is gone.

I take this in combination with Aloe vera juice. The prilosec keeps the acid at bay, and the Aloe vera juice helps my esophagus to heal.

Prilosec works like a charm
I'm a 23 year old male and was waking up with painful heartburn almost every night. It was affecting the quality of sleep I was getting, and I was concerned it could develop into something more severe, so I talked to my doctor. He prescribed 3 months of Prilosec, which I began taking immediately. After the first day, the heartburn was gone. I have only since had problems when I miss a dose. It has now been a year, and I am taking Prilosec OTC 20mg to continue my treatment. I no longer have insurance and couldn't afford the prescription, but using Amazon's incredible subscribe and save offer I can afford to continue taking Prilosec. My life could not be quite so comfortable without this wonderful little pill.
