Wal-mart Equate Brand Products

I bought the Equate Omeprazole Magnesium. It works for only about 6 hours rather than all day like the other generic brand I buy. It takes 2 capsules to do the job. I am very disappointed in that the price was way less than my usual generic brand. So in the end I will spend more money using this brand because I have to use twice as much. Guess I'll go back to my old brand unless some changes are made to the formula. Thank you for reading this.

I bought Equate Miconazole 1 for a yeast infection. The insert came out and I was out my money and it did nothing for my yeast infection. I called the number on the box and gave the box #1BT0292 exp 7/12. I got a message to call back, so I did. I spoke to a customer service rep. All she did was take the information and I've heard nothing since. This happened in December. It says on the box satisfaction guaranteed by refund or exchange. Neither of which I received. I will not use the equate brand again. I will go with the name brand. Thank you.

I got the Equate Cleaning & Disinfecting Lens Care System last night. I followed the directions in the box for cleaning and storing the lenses, and when I put on the right lens this morning, I felt a sudden irritation and burning in my eye. I washed my eye immediately with some cold water in hopes that the pain would stop. Although the pain has eased after 12 hours, I can still feel some sting in my eyes up to now. This product is highly unrecommended.

Equate Natural Vegetable Laxative compared to Senokote/8.6 mg. 100 tablets. Tablets are not coated in any way; therefore, are very difficult to swallow. If you take a sip of water, the tablet will immediately begin to break down, leaving an awful taste in the mouth. An incident occurred the past summer, June 2011, whereby the round tablet got stuck in my esophagus. An intense burning occurred and it was very difficult to dislodge the tablet--it was literally stuck to the wall of the esophagus. Please create a better tablet by at least coating it so as to prevent it from beginning to dissolve in the mouth or throat, instead of in the stomach.

I purchased a bottle of Equate Cleaning & Disinfecting Lens solution. I used the product as directed. It was brand new & safety sealed. I placed my contacts in my case .The following morning, I placed my contact in my right eye and I kept on feeling irritation in my eyes. I thought may be it was my contact lens which would have caused it so I opened a new pack of lens and use the Equate lens solution and it reached a point where I couldn't bear and had to see a doctor.

My doctor found that it was due to the reaction from the lens solution, now my eyes have internal swelling and irritation and my vision has been impaired due to that. I have to go to my doctor two times in a week and get medication to reduce the suffering. I would like to make a formal complaint about my experience and suffering that I had to go through after using this product.

Product: Equate contact lens cleaning and disinfecting lens care system. A dangerous product and I am not the only person that has had a terrible experience with this product. It is like putting battery acid in your eye!

Read other complaints: I purchased a bottle of Equate cleaning and disinfecting lens care system. I used the product as directed. I opened the bottle (brand new with safety sealed) and placed my contacts in my case as directed at approximately 10:00PM. The following morning, 7:00AM, I placed my contact in my left eye. I was in absolute agony. I felt like I had acid in my eye. I managed to get the contact out of my eye. I repeatedly flushed my eye with saline solution and then used Visine. I rinsed both of my contacts with saline solution. I placed my contacts in my eyes. I tried to place drops in my eyes periodically throughout the day. It is now 7:15PM and my eye is still very irritated and scarlet. We did call the phone number on the bottle. I am continuing to rinse my eye with saline solution. This product should be removed immediately. I am writing this in hopes that someone else will be spared the pain I am experiencing. There are more but hopefully, you get the picture. It could blind someone!

The tampons are malfuctioning they are stuck in the tube> I have had to throw away over half a box. I wont even go into the mess details. I cannot afford to have to throw this many away and I live so far out in the country.Something needs to be done about this.

After three light applications of Equate's Moisterizing Body Wash for Extra Dry Skin, with Shea butter and vitamins, I noticed burning and redness overall. This is an unusable body wash for me. I must be allergic to some ingredients. I realize I cannot return it, and I don't have the sales slip anymore, but I think the product should warn of possible allergic reactions.

I purchased equate Nite Time last week because I couldn't sleep at night due to coughing. I took 2 gelcaps Thurs. night 1/29 and the next afternoon I had loose bowels which were bright green. This happened about 3 times. I did not take any more medication but when my bowel movements were back to normal it was still green - not as bright but green. Is this because of the medication? I think you should put this as a warning on your box because it was a shock to me. I did not go to the doctor. What do you advise I do?

Nothing physical so far but it certainly was distrubing at the time.

I bought 3 bottles of Equate OTC meds at our local WalMart: a sleep aid, Extra Strength Pain Reliever PM (Equivalent of Tylenol PM), and Naproxin Sodium. I called the service desk & enquired as to the Tylenol PM equivalent. I was told it was only the CAPSULES that were possibly contaminated, as that was the only med form that could contain the shavings. I wasn't given any chance to give lot numbers. I now find it was the caplets & am worried.

I just got out of the hospital a week ago. I have missed alot of work. I have been swelling up. I was sick,a nd i have taken two courses of an antibiotic. I got aa shot of an pneumonia shot, my arm swelled as the rest of my body, i had a bullseye on my arm. The doctors said, the shot was not the reason of my swelling. They asked if i had a metal taste in my mouth. i just found out about the recall. Yes. i bought the store brand/ 500 mg. and i have been taking them. Bottle is done. I just need infor. trying to figure out my problem.

I've been using WalMart's generic Equate brand of Multi Purpose lense solution for soft lenses. I stopped wearing my contact lenses about a month ago because they irritated me too much. Then I noticed a small fungus spot on the left lense. Tried using an enzymatic cleaner but that did no good.

I have asked many times for the stores to carry the sugar free Vanilla Wafers, and no luck. One time I am sure I found Sugar Free Equate Brand Wafers but not in this store. You have many diabetics and the same old cookies gets tiresome after awhile. If you can not stock them, please furnish means to purchase them.
