A member asked:
Does prilosic work for gerd and if so how long does it take to start seeing improvment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Prilosec otc is a good first line treatment for gerd. I would give it a full 14 days before assessing response. If no significant improvement, would consult with your doctor as you may need a higher dose and evaluation for h. Pylori.
