    My first few weeks the medicine was very effective. But now I feel it is not helping at all, and my symptoms have come back full force. I need help!

    After 3 days I have noticed my troat feeling swollen and now very sore. I am now getting what a feels like a yeast infections beginning. I am suspecting it is because of this drug. I am using a trial container of 5 pills. I am glad I did not pay for this, but it will cost me in the end because now I have to return to the Dr. and pay another 100.00. Not a happy camper.

    10 years ago, I was prescribed this medication in a last stitch effort to control my GERD, which was so bad I was hardly eating for days at a time. It's made a huge difference, and very successfully controls all my pain and discomfort. I still have heartburn if I eat too much too fast, or consume too many carbonated beverages.
