Prilosec

Prilosec is a medication that reduces acid in the stomach and is typically used to treat heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux. Prilosec can, however, be used to treat other intestinal conditions as well. There are two versions of Prilosec—prescription Prilosec and Prilosec OTC, which is the over the counter Prilosec version available without a prescription. You can also purchase generic Prilosec, which is the same as the original Prilosec patent. The effects and side effects are the same, but it will save on Prilosec cost.

If you order Prilosec at an online drugstore, but you want to start taking the medication immediately, you can order Prilosec next day delivery. This Prilosec overnight delivery will add to the cost, but you will be able to take the medication much more quickly this way. And, since Prilosec is not an immediate fix (it can take up to four days to feel the Prilosec effects), this time can be very important. You can save some on the cost by using a Prilosec coupon, which are typically available in the coupon section of most large Sunday newspapers.

There are many side effects of Prilosec, and the most common can include stomach pain, nausea and headache. Prilosec is typically only taken once in a 24 hour period, and if you overdose, you should contact your doctor immediately. Prilosec side effects can also include an allergic reaction that could include difficulty swallowing, breaking out in hives, or swelling of the face or lips. If any of these side effects of Prilosec appear, stop taking the drug and seek medical attention. One controversial side effect is whether Prilosec can cause hair loss or not. If you experience hair loss while taking Prilosec, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist. They may be able to recommend a different medicine that is comparable. One of the most common comparisons of stomach acid reducers is Prilosec vs. Nexium. Since everyone reacts to drugs differently, the battle of Nexium vs. Prilosec will have a different result for each person. If one doesn’t seem to work for you, or causes irritating side effects, you can switch to the other and see how it does. It is very possible, even though the medications are quite similar, that one will work much better for you than the other. Keep in mind that both have to be taken for long periods to get results, and if you are seeking immediate relief, you should use a quick-action antacid such as Pepcid.
