Oh boy, it’s time to do an introductory comparison of the three Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) that are available over-the-counter.
As of right now, you can get your hands on Zegerid OTC, Prilosec OTC, and Prevacid 24HR to treat your irritating and painful stomach ailment without having to get a prescription from your physician. With this in mind, I thought it would be a genius idea to slip you a video that supplies the answer to the question I know you all have…which OTC PPI is the best to take?
The answer:
Sorry, guys! I know you were looking for a better answer than that, but the truth really is one OTC PPI is not better than the other and they all have the same safety precautions/side effects. It really does come down to the price tag and personal preference!
