"I was taking up to 2 40 mg of Omeprazole a day for severe reflux. It wasn’t helping much. I went to a different gastroenterologist, and he prescribed me Voquezna. I could feel a difference with the first pill that I took. It actually does something and reduces acid in the esophagus also. Been taking it about 2 weeks now, does not seem to be giving me side effects. I don’t know why the GI doctor I’ve been seeing for 6 months has told me to wait before he gave me this med! Too young and inexperienced, maybe."

"I was on the medication for about 3 months. The first 2 months it worked great. After that, I started to have reflux symptoms. I also felt my throat closing. At first, it only happened once in a while. Then it was every day for a week, and it was all day. I read throat tightness could be an allergic reaction. Day 1 of stopping meds, the throat tightness went away."

"I’d never had GERD before, but in late 2024, I suddenly couldn’t stop burping and felt pain under my sternum. An endoscopy showed mild acid reflux—Grade A cardioesophagitis. I also had burning stomach pain, nausea, trouble eating, and eventually throat and swallowing issues. I took Prilosec for three months, but it made me nauseous and I was unsure how much it was helping. I’ve now been on 20 mg of Voquenza for two months. It’s helped more—no more nausea or stomach burning, and the throat symptoms are now mild—but it hasn’t cured me. I still feel discomfort under my sternum, frequent heartburn (which I didn’t have before), and an acidic taste in my mouth. There’s no one-size-fits-all fix for GERD. Voquenza has helped, but I’m unsure if I’ll stay on it after two months."

"I have been taking the medication for 20 days. At first, it helped me a little, but now I have had many episodes of very chronic diarrhea. I thought it was the food and continued taking my medicine and my very strict diet, and again with diarrhea. I stopped the medicine. The last 3 days of taking the medicine, I feel that my acidity is the same as before, it hasn't helped me much. It produces a lot of bitterness in my mouth. And I feel that it doesn't help."
