Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hi Kym, I was switched over to the Prilosec and I have no problems with the capsules. It seems to work as well as the Protonix. Ramona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Protonix isn't a medication that is covered by Kaiser anymore as of a couple months ago. It has been replaced with Prilosec on the "approved kaiser medication list". I was told this 3 weeks ago when I went to have my medications filled prior to surgery. I did get Kaiser to pay for mine because I took the script to my PCP and he put some code on it so the pharmacy knew it was important for me to have that medication because I wasnt able to swallow capsules. Prilosec is a huge capsule and Protonix is a really tiny tablet. Both are time released so not sure how good either of them are after bypass.
