User Comments about Lansoprazole

15 Jan 2011	The Lansoprazole itself works great on my acid and heart-burn, but the side-effects of having impotence quite often is really being to get me down. I think its time for a change of medication. —Posted by Phil Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
05 Jul 2010	Lansoprazole is the best prescription stomach drug I've tried so far. IT WORKS! —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
02 Jun 2010	It does not work for my acid reflux and it also gives me blisters in my mouth when taken everyday. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
18 Aug 2009	Had to come off this - came down from 30mg to 15 mg but side effects too bad to work. On the loo all day long. Very disappointed as it started off very well but side effects kicked in after about 4 weeks. —Posted by Disappointed Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
