Is prelief any different than Tums? -
Darlene:
Prelief is not an antacid; it is a food acid neutralizer. It works on the food, not on you. Also, in a study conducted, Prelief has been demonstrated to be of value in the diets of IC patients.
Tums is composed of calcium carbonate which is approximately 40% calcium. Prelief is composed of calcium glycerophosphate which is 20% calcium and 20% phosphorus,an ideal ratio.For additional information on Prelief, please call 1-800-994-4711.

Dear SueP1:
Prelief does not interfere with other medications unless you are on a medication that is inhibited by calcium. You can check with your pharmacist or physician if you are not sure.For additional information on Prelief, please call 1-800-994-4711.

Betty, could you please tell me if prelief will be available in canada,Over the counter, the same as the USA. It would be great to just go to your local drugsore and pick it up instead of the hassle of ordering
it by internet. Sharon BComment

Dear Sharber:
I hear you! We are anxious to have Prelief available in Canada; there are so many IC patients (from Canada) ordering direct on a
regular basis. Prelief is a dietary supplement, but Health Canada does not like the name Prelief because they feel it sounds like a drug.
We are still working on it and hopefully Prelief will be available in Canada in the not too distant future.For additional information on Prelief, please call 1-800-994-4711. AkPharma is a proud sponsor of the IC Network Message Board.Comment
