Patient Stories

John Elway

...but heartburn pain was part of my life until I got help from Prevacid. I'm a pretty tough guy but that fireball would hit me more often than linebackers.

I was in great shape. I changed my diet. I ate enough chalky tabs to line a field with. Still the heartburn came back. My trainer and I thought it might be serious. I finally took a time out to see my doctor. He broke it down like this:

I had acid reflux disease.

Acid causes pain that could lead to damage.

He prescribed Prevacid because it helps prevent acid.

Now I'm retired, and with Prevacid daily my heartburn is too."

–John Elway
