Hi Irene,
I have taken pantaprozol for GERD from a haital hernia, but now I take omeprazole. If you aren't having a lot of issues, you might want to stick with antacids or try omeprazole. Over time your stomach acids overcome the effects of the drug and you have to treat breakthrough or move up to a stronger med. So it's best to treat with the otc first. I went to omeprazole after my insurance wouldn't pay for pantaprozol. At first I had a lot of breakthrough, but now I'm pretty good. I had endoscopy a year ago that showed all is well.
