Having had a severe case of hives in the past, I was stunned to read on the internet that others had also experienced itching and hives upon taking this very effective drug to relieve heartburn. However, when I stopped taking Prilosec, the rash disappeared immediately. I opted instead to lose weight, change my diet and stop eating aftr 7:30 PM each night. No more heartburn and no drugs!

Prilosec OTC is darned effective when taken as directed. It doesn't take effect immediately, so you really begin to feel better in the next 1-2 days. The drug is a bit expensive, but P&G puts out coupons on a pretty regular basis. I think this is also covered if you have a Health Savings Account set up to may for out-of-pocket medical costs and co-pays.
