“I have been taking Lansoprazole 30mg twice a day for a little over a year ago getting great relief for my erosive esphagitis and GERD. My pharmacists switched to this manufacturer and did not work as well as the other manufacturer. Therefore, I am taking this plus filling in with Pepcid at least once a day. Am now looking for another pharmacy so I can go back to the other manufacturer product. Very disappointing.”
“Simply I had severe stomach pain often unbearable, I was always tired, due to my fear of doctors did not seek medical help for approximately a year. Went to see doc she gave me these capsules and I have my life back no more pain and full of energy, I'm me again, would recommend to anyone.”
“I’ve been on Pepcid for like 20 years. It has always worked perfectly for my severe acid reflux disease. However, recently the previous black/pink capsules have been changed to white/blue ones. Could care less about the color, but these do not work for me. A few times a week, I have to take over the counter acid reducers or take another lansoprazole.”
“It's kind of alright. It was more effective when I first started taking it. It still works alright for me throughout the day. I take it for acid reflux. Acid reflux goes away quicker if I lay down on my left side. It's not a huge problem. Just that it could affect me in public if it starts not working properly. I think I might need to start taking two though. As it isn't as effective on me as it used to be. Just glad I can still live my life without it affecting me.”
Prevacid (lansoprazole): “I have had Gerd with a hiatial hernia for a lot of years. Prevacid is the only thing that has truly helped me.”
Prevacid (lansoprazole): “This is the only thing that works for me, have tried Nexium Prilosec and countless other stomach medications. Always go back to Prevacid.”
Prevacid (lansoprazole): “Expensive but really helps with little or no side effects.”
“This drug gave a severe case of diarrhea, bloating and gas just two days after I started taking it I had to stop on the advice of my doctor.”
“It cost you $400 a month? I’m in the UK and the same drug cost me £6.50 for a months supply. That’s so crazy”

“Lansoprazole has eliminated pain from gastritis for 6 years. Downsides are that I become anemic due to reduced ability to absorb B vitamins from food. Taking Sublingual B complex vitamins (1 mg X twice daily) has raised my energy level considerably.”
