Is The Time Release Of Previcid In Any Form Actually Useful

There are a bunch of the PPIs that come in a time release form. They appear to be a follow on to the normal doses. DO any of the PPIs benefit from the time release form or is it just another attempt to confuse and screw consumers?

Hello, Alternety! How are you?

The time released formulations are beneficial for some people. While there are some who might just release excess acid upon ingesting something, some people's stomachs seem to produce excess all the time, so a time released one may help them throughout the day.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of PPIs as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, flatulence and stomach pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
