Color Change
(Newest replies first)

Updated

The last time I purchased Prilosec at my grocery store the color was purple instead of the pick I am used to seeing. It also seems to taste different. Has there been a change or should I be concerned about these new colored pills?

Hi Cheryl,

The color of a medication doesn't usually have anything to do with its formulation. This one could possibly be from a different manufacturer, or flavored. As long as it contains the same amount of ingredients as the last one you had, you should be just fine. If it really concerns you, you can always ask your doctor or a pharmacist.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Prilosec Details

I hope this helps, please post back if you need further assistance!
