I have just been prescribed Protonix to help with my acid reflux and ulcers. The only problem is, there is no generic to this drug and I do not have any insurance. Could someone tell me how I can get this medicine cheap or a program for uninsured people who require these medicines to live a normal life? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
I currently take Prevacid daily, but have all kinds of hassles with my insurance in keeping a steady supply. I’ve tried Prilosec with good results, but don’t think it works for me as well as Prevacid
They are both in the same class of drug, called Proton Pump Inhibitors. They both work in pretty much the same way. Differences, one is purple, the other is pink/black (30mg). Prilosec is available in generic (omeprazole) and over-the-counter, where Prevacid still has its patent and is only available as a prescription. Insurance will probably pay for the Prevacid. Many insurance companies won’t pay for anything that is over-the-counter.
I may sign up for insurance that only pays for generics but I take Protonix to block my stomah acid producton.
yes it is possible to have a reaction after taking any new medicne, believe me i tkae alot of medicine. i have crohn’s disease and i toolk nexium it work great for me but insurance would not pay for it so had to swich to protonix

I have been taking Aciphex since 2003 for GERDS treatment. Now my insurance company is no longer going to cover it. They say the only coverage they now offer is for omeprazole. I'm certain it boils down to a matter of $, but I'm uncertain I'll be better off. Any advice?
