Prilosec OTC Review

I used to take Nexium. Now I take Prilosec. Prilosec works just as well. My new insurance company would not cover the Nexium pills. I cannot say I take it exactly as directed. I take it when I need it or when I know I am going to be eating something that most liiely will cause a flare up. I love how small the pills are too. Easy to swallow.

My doctor told me to take them anytime I am going to take an OTC like Aleve or Excederin. He says it will protect your stomach from damage.

It is expensive. I really feel like they could lower the price by cutting down on the packaging. I find them hard to get out of the little bubbles which can be really frustrating. If I had one recmmendation for the company it would be to just put the stuff in a bottle. If I cannot open them easily then I sure cannot imagine someone elderly being able to. They recently changed the packaging just a little. Now it is harder than ever to get them out.
