"I am interested in anyones' input about their experiences with Prilosec OTC. I am a registered pharmacist....I received literature from Astra about the product before it came out and it clearly states that Prilosec OTC is formulated in a different salt form than the prescription version....There is plenty of hard evidence by Aztra and the FDA that clearly states that these two drugs are NOT the same are not to be used for the same diagnoses. Please tell me your stories, I am going to war with the insurances."

"I've been taking Prilosec for a couple of years now....I started taking the Prilosec OTC when it went over the counter because my insurance will not pay for it anymore and I've had heartburn ever since. I noticed that it wasn't working the second night that I started taking it....I guess I'll just have to start taking antacids ten times a day again."

Hi All,
I have been reading the forum threads for some time now but never bothered to register myself until today. Hope to bring some good stuff to these forums.
Thanks,

Do you think we’ll see the day when LCD monitors are replaced by holographic displays? Screens that literally appear out of thin air in full color?
What do you think? Holographic technology is still fairly new but there are scientists out there who believe we’ve only begun to tap into it.
There are also people working on holographic based cloaking devices for use in combat. In 10 years we could be looking back on the technology of today and laughing.
Thoughts?
