Prilosec/Omeprazole 20 MG

[DoOver 17]

I thought I'd just share for anyone new to the sleeve and needs info on how to keep themself in meds at a rate they can affort. Expecially for anyone who doesn't have prescription coverage on these meds, like me.

I get my generic Prilosec at Target. The prescription is written for 2 20 mg. per day, The surgeon considered a standard dose to be 1 40 mg. but wrote it as 2 20's because that allows me to get it filled on their reduced cost plan. I've only had to fill it once and got 180 20 mg. tables for $30. As it turned out, I only need 1 pill a day so it's lasting me closer to 6 months than the expected 3 months.

My insurance no longer covers this med since it went OTC.

I've been very happy with the results of this generic. I am, at this point, only taking 1 every other day but there are days when different foods cause break through reflux.

I'm pretty sure some of the other stores that have low cost plans have both acid reducers and PPI's as options. Just a thing to consider since so many of us need to use these meds at least for a window of time.
