Gina,

This is frustrating: one day a web site works...and the next day it doesn't ! That's the reality of the Internet, I guess. I have no idea what Cookies are - and I really do not want to know!

I am prepared to give you two ways of accessing the site for Prilosec -- This also works for most other drugs too!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

1.) PlanetRx.com

** scroll down to LEARN MORE (shown in yellow) and click: DRUG INFO A-Z

** click: DRUG INFO A-Z

** click: P

** click: PRILOSEC

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx OR: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2.) PlanetRx Drug Information

** click: DRUG INFO A-Z

** click: P (for Prilosec) and then click PRILOSEC.
