I had a reaction to this medication. Rash, hives itching, swelling of mouth face lips and unusual hoarseness, chills and sore throat. After being on this for 5 weeks, I finally figured it out. Be careful and if you experience I suggest you discontinue

I had heartburn since i was in my mid-teens. I actually couldn't even remember what it was like to not have heartburn. This past year, it has been the worst. My mom suggested i take this (prilosec) and see how it works. I had been taking tums and zantac for years with very short results, and having to take it several times a day. Once i began taking this drug, i have had NO heartburn. Before, even drinking water could give me heartburn. Now, NOTHING effects me. I can feel it almost immediately too once i have finished a 14 day round of this med. I have to take it much more consistently. I noticed that some people say the ease of use is not too nice. I take the pill every night when I brush my teeth. Wake up the next morning, no heartburn all day long. it is a great feeling! Read More Read Less

Along with proper diet (minus pop, coffee and fried foods) and the medication taken properly, my stomach pains have subsided. I did notice a side effect of occasional diarhea.

I used to have stomach pain and eat tums all day. Since starting this med, I don't have either. It works very well for me. If I miss it, I can tell because my stomach hurts all day. It is inconvenient that it has to be taken first thing, without other meds or food for at least 30 minutes.
