    Great question, amytug! I take Protonix and it is very expensive in the US.

    I don't know what a ppi is but I live in Mexico and you can buy pretty much everything at the pharmacy without a prescription.

    There are PPIs that are available OTC. I don't know about Dr Garcia but a lot of people have said they take over-the-counter PPIs and have no issues. I've seen omeprazole as a common one used post-op and it's available as Prilosec OTC. My insurance won't cover anything that is available OTC, so unless a doctor along the way prescribes something stronger that is only available in prescription strength, I'll be doing Prilosec.
