Comment:
This medication works great for preventing acid reflux and preventing the acid from entering my lungs however I experience severe gas. And it's not pleasant gas either. I am talking clearing the room kind of gas. It is not very pleasant when your a woman! I need the medication though as nothing else works. So I am stuck with the stink.....

Well, I used to suffer from really really bad GERD and I got onto several drugs that didn't work too well. But then, I tried Prevacid. I take 30 mgs per day every morning. Bye bye GERD. Best pill for gerd. Generic works just as well as brand! Go for it if you have GERD!

Comment:
I had been taking the generic version of Prilosec for 3 years. It just didn't do the job. I tried taking two pills a day but it didn't work all the time. I had used prevacid for many years until my prescription coverage said they would not pay for it anymore. My doc got prior approval and now I don't have the heartburn 99% of the time...
