A similar proton pump inhibitor that my Mum takes is Prevacid. She also has had good results with it for her Reflux problem. The generic name for Prevacid is Lansoprazole. I do not believe there is a generic version available of Prevacid as yet. Hope this helps.

The reason i was asking for the generic name was because Prilosec to you might be marketed in Manila under a different label. Or perhaps i should be asking hwat the major component of Prilosec is? You are all so lucky to have health insurance. The kind of health insurance you have is not as expansive as even the private health insurance coverage we have here....... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rayilyn Brown" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2001 11:40 AM Subject: Re: Prilosec > Myles, don't think there is a generic and it is very expensive, like $120+ > for mo. supply.
