What is the difference (use, effectiveness, etc.) between Aciphex and Prilosec?
I used to use Aciphex 2-3 times per month to control esophitis and heart burn, but I had to switch to Prilosec for insurance reasons. I am wondering if I should use them differently? I used to take Aciphex whenever I didnt feel well, and it worked fine. Do I do the same thing with Prilosec? Or do I take it regularly weather I have heartburn or not?

I hate prilosec cause it is delayed release. When those acids flare up you need releif immediately, and you have to take prilosec every day for 2 weeks before it helps.See if your doc will put you on Prevacid. If cost is a problem they also make a generic version. I have terrible esophitis and have tried everything, and prilosec was just about the worst thing I tried.
