    The first 2 days, I received every side effect possible, except for the bad taste in the mouth. Vomiting, excruciating stomach pains, dizziness, weakness, diarrhea and nausea.

Going on my third dosage now I still have it ... Show Full Comment

    I tested positive for H. Pylori and the PrevPac has been great for me. No more stomach pain and no side effects!
