Generic Prilosec

[myles <myles77@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gotcha Rayilyn! My mom was taking Prepulsid - it's available here.

And i just checked with the drugstores here.....in Manila....Prilosec is not
available as such...i had to give them the generic name for
it......omeprazole........ and the sales clerk found the drug as
"Losec"..... same name as in Canada......
