Underhanded "Price" Increase

Watch out, that Omeprazole can loosen your stools. Especially during the first few weeks. You may become remarkably regular.

That being said, Omeprazole allowed me to sleep without waking up to a mouth full of bile.
And, I can eat bread again.

Stuff will make you **** like a pet coon, but it's made my quality of life incredibly better.

Prilosec (sp) and the other cheaper one did nothing for me, the Zegrid saved my life. Seriously.

I was on Omeprazole for a long time, and then two different doctors suggested I get off of them and go with another, more like Prilosec. However, the doctors say the generic for Prilosec it less harmful for one than Omeprazole. However, I don't have really serious reflux, so the "milder" medicine works fine as long as I remember to take it twice a day, every day.

Over the counter Ranitidine

Omeprazole is the generic name for over the counter Prilosec .... at least that's what the pharmacy says.
It just comes in stronger dosages than the OTC stuff.

Odd, because when I started on Omeprazole, it was a prescription drug. I'll have to do my own research now.

OK. Went and looked and Ranitidine is a generic for Zantac, not Prilosec.

My apologies.

It still is.
The RX is the same stuff as Prilosec, just in stronger doses than you can get OTC. Might also be cheaper by RX, depending on your insurance.
Might want to check it out .... save a few bucks.

This has been going on for a while.

Yes it has been. Prices go up, portions get smaller.

Are you sure they shrank or you hands got a little bigger.............HMM

Omeprasole, at least in some dosage, is also over the counter. I used to buy it that way until the docs told me to change.
