"works great if you take the correct dosage" 2010-02-07
By R. Hansen (carmel new york)
prevacid does work well if you take the correct dosage. I took prevacid by prescription 30mgs and it work wonders on my reflux. Then I stopped taking it and it came back. Doctor put me on acipex, then my health insurance starting charging a 100 dolloar co pay. I started to take prevacid otc, but only took on pill 15mgs. the refux came back in a few days. I looked at the bottle and realized it was half of prescription strength and starting taking two pills. reflux improved after days and no problems since. its not unusual a drug that goes otc to have a lower dosage than when it was available by sript. so if it is not working for you, take two pills at once and you will be taking prescription strength dosage.
"Replacement for Prevacid solutabs, 15mg" 2010-03-23
By Deanna J. Espinoza (New Mexico, USA)
Our current prescription copay for the solutab form of Prevacid is $90 per month and insurance pays the rest. Our daughter needs to take Prevacid for acid control as she has GERD. She is 3 years of age now and takes the contents of one capsule twice daily with applesauce or pudding as a base. We save at least $30 per month by purchasing OTC Prevacid without insurance and avoiding the high cost of the solutabs. Our daughter's G.I. specialist gave the approval to switch to this medication form. I hope this information is helpful to other sufferers of GERD or caregivers of children/elderly with this condition.
"A lifesaver!" 2010-03-12
By Sam Jones (Atlanta, Georgia)
I came down with GERD so badly that I couldn't eat without feeling like I was choking. I lost 40 lbs in a couple months. I took 60mg of prevacid daily and eventually recovered. Don't take too much for too long though, or abdominal pains may occur. I now take 30mg daily without side-effects.
"Powerful pills" 2010-03-19
By Oleg K (Ohio, USA)
Effect of Prevacid is similar and much more powerful than Prilosec's.
My doctor prescribed me Prevacid some time ago, it worked. Now it's over the counter and I am glad I can buy it freely.
Of course, everybody's case is different. For me - this is the pills of choice for my gastric problem. It's definitely worth trying.
"Gold standard of Heartburn relief!" 2010-06-08
By J. Ingram (Tennessee)
I have been taking the prescription of this product for a few years now. I am glad I can buy it over the counter now. I works great on my heartburn. I must take two of them to equal one of my prescription but it is still much cheaper than buying it form the pharmacy. If you have heartburn don't wast your time on other products, just buy this one and be done with it. Prevacid is the gold standard for heartburn relief. Don't wast you money on the other stuff.
