I am new here but I will jump in...
I have had reflux since I was 13 years old.. I have taken Prilosec
(until the generic came out) ever since then.. so almost 20 years now
1 20mg pill a day and it has gotten rid of 95% of my reflux. It saved
my life!
Recently I found a web site where I get the generic form of Prilosec
(Omeprazole) for less than a quarter of the name brand price. I
switched and never looked back! It helps cause I am on a fixed income.
The site I use is called prilopill.com
Hope this helps...
And I ave been taking it for over 20 years.. this medication is really
meant for long term use, they just don't advertise it that way.
