I took this for Ulcer issues and it did help to clear it up but the side effects or more than I can stand! This can give you horrible anxiety attacks, along with constipation and pain. Overall I take this as little time as I can. Be careful.

I have taken this medication for over a year after trying Previcid and Prilosec .This med has healed my ulcers and controls my acid. It has, however affected my b12 so had to take b12injections for a few months then oral b12 and am ok now. This med has been life renewing for me after months of agony from acid, pain,and mouth ulcers to the point I ended in the ER.
