| Add Aciphex review ACIPHEX WORDED FOR ME WHEN OTC DRUGS DID NOT. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. BUT NOW I MUST DO WITHOUT AS THE COST EVEN WITH INSURANCE IS PRICING IT OUT OF MY REACH. I WAS GETTING 3 MONTHS AT A TIME FROM A MAIL ORDER COMPANY WHEN THE PRICE WENT UP I TRIED WALMART. LAST TIME IT WAS OVER $150 FOR 90 PILLS, THIS TIME IT WAS OVER $250 SO I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT. I WILL HAVE TO DO THE BEST I CAN WITH THE OTC UNTIL THE PATENT RUNS OUT. I have tried the other common PPI's and OTC acid reducers which all fail to help my severe, persistent reflux. Aciphex works within minutes of use and has never failed to control my symptoms for at least 20 hours. My only problem is that my RX provider at work sometimes removes it from the "approved" list and it is too expensive for me to buy with pocket change. They are covering it in 2012 so life is great. | Add Pantoprazole review I did very well on Protonix. I was switched to pantopropozole and my condition got steadily worse. I had an endoscopy to look for cancer. They found some signs of Barretts Esophagus. I thought sure that I was in big trouble. After doing an internet search, I came upon these reviews and insisted the doctor switch me back to Protonix. I took the prescription to CVS and they tried to change it to Pan ... been on this med for two months..pantoprazole 40mg....cough and clearing of throat stopped for awhile and is now back.also throat is hurts...does anyone else have a problem with throat hurting...I would really like to know..email is ; yankeejo_al@yahoo.com...thank you Stop my GURD w/i 2 days I have been taking this drug for six months and have had no side effects or related problems. It has stopped my reflux, dry cough and swallowing difficulties and I'm very satisfied. I was satisfied and comfortable for a while and then developed excessive gas, belching and diarrhea, which got so bad I've quit taking it altogether. | |||
