Procter & Gamble unveils new flavor-coated heartburn pill

Procter & Gamble has unveiled new Prilosec OTC Wildberry, a flavor-coated 24-hour pill to treat frequent heartburn.

The company claims that the new Prilosec OTC Wildberry, designed to be swallowed, offers similar heartburn relief as the Prilosec OTC.

Procter & Gamble has begun the product shipment and is expected to make it available in the stores shortly.

Procter & Gamble Prilosec OTC brand manager Phil McWaters said Prilosec OTC Wildberry is the first innovation in the over the counter 24-hour frequent heartburn pill category in a decade.

"It offers frequent heartburn sufferers a new "sensory experience" in their daily routine along with relief from frequent heartburn," McWaters added.

Procter & Gamble developed a proprietary process for Prilosec OTC Wildberry that coats the swallowable pill to create the burst of wildberry flavor sensation.
