A member asked:
Prilosec didn't work for me but zantac (ranitidine) is helping why is that???? i thought prilosec was supposed to be better

Not really...: Like with many medications that fall within the same class or category in terms of what illness they treat, there isn't necessarily a 'better', it's more about what's better for you. Different people respond differently, so all that matters is that it's working for you. Hope that helps!
