Prilosec is the only name I know of for this med. I do not believe as yet there is a generic version. It 's side effects are listed as; may cause headache, diahrea, some stomach discomfort. I have never had any thing but relief from this med. However my husband had loose stools so bad he refused to take it anymore. As with all meds everyone reacts or responds differently. Hopw this answers some of your questions.
