I was told by Medco health that Prilosec now had a generic available (Omeprazole) and so I talked my doctor into switching my prescription from Nexium to Omeprazole, and sure enough they sent non generic Prilosec and the huge bill that goes with “real” Prilosec. Poo on Medco health and Poo on Astra Zeneca with their many patent extension ripoff plans.

I have a hiatal hernia and acid reflux problems, and I suffer so badly sometimes it makes me cry. I have to go to my doctor’s office and ask for free samples of Prilosec, because I can’t afford to buy it. Nothing else helps. I worry about how much damage is being done to my esophagus, while drug companies laugh all the way to the bank. I am aching for the day generic Prilosec becomes available.

I buy from Canadian Prescription Drugs, they sell Losec (omeprazole) for approx half the cost. My prescription was for Prilosec, Losec is the Canadian name and they are small lavender pills not purple capsules. They work fine. They have a web site and you must print off their application and send a doctors prescription. After the initial order there is no problem and they say it takes 4-6 weeks for first order and 4 weeks for refills. My pills came quicker than that. My refill took two weeks. You can reorder by phone, mail or e-mail. I get Lipitor, Hytrin and Prilosec from them for about 60 per cent of the cost here. Price list on web site. I would like to buy my medicine in the USA but can’t afford to.
