Another alternative to Omeprazole is Inziazole, it's cheaper but that's because it isn't taken by mouth.

Linda - I have to admit I tried it for a month and there was an improvement but then for some reason or other we didn't have any in (that is purely the wife's department here up North so I naturally didn't interfere with due process) and it just got left off the shopping list and then forgotten all together!
Ps I think things started to go down hill after the wedding personally :D)

I will try it again before we go next year for our first 6-month stint - but if not it is comforting to know the standby is available.

I have not heard of Keith's suggestion but I have a feeling it was the same area he felt the pain when the server went down :D

Thanks Ken / Brian for your valued replies - obviously our leader has never suffered from nervous indigestion or maybe he has...... ;)

In that case "stick it up your bum" :D:D Seriously a lot of routine tablets are prescribed as suppositories outside of the UK:-\.

Keith, I think the majority of users have it to prevent acid reflux caused by hiatus hernias. It reduces the production of stomach acids and can lead to other gastric problems.

Lance

The maximum that can be prescribed and dispensed at any one time is 2 months supply without prior agreement of the Authorities. My doctor gets round this by letting me put in a number of repeat prescriptions of 2 months supply over a short period of time to cover the period that I have told him I will be away. :)

Just like to say that Omeprazole & Lansoprazole are not the same medicine. They are both for stomach acid problems but I was on the former & was switched to the latter as my GP thought it would be more suitable for me.
I would think that both should be available but I'm just concerned that people don't get the idea that they are the same drug.
