Did the pill work after the first day or what??

How long you been on it?

I have been using it for 2 months now, so far it is the best one for me, I tried all the rest. as I said , I never try the powder, so I can't compare which one is better.

I use the pill form. My normal PPI therapy is 2 Nexium per morning, but I"ll use 1 capsule of Zegrid at night for breakthough syptoms.

Happily, I also discovered it is just as effective as Nexium if I take it as a double dose in the morning. (Nice to know I have options).

The only thing I've noticed is that I feel a little more dried out after a dose of Zegrid than I do with a dose of Nexium.
