Unfortunately, the generic form of the drug doesn't appear to work effectively on my symptoms
I recently (yesterday, actually) decided to start eliminating coffee out of my daily diet since I'm sure that's causing my acid issues to flare up
There is some evidence that Nexium provides more effective acid control, lasts for longer, and works faster than Prilosec; however, some studies have failed to find a difference between the two Using panto and then omeprazole ended up helping some of my symptoms but it took like a month which is unfortunate because I've been on omeprazole prior and it was like 2 days and it killed all the acid and symptoms
What can also happen is it may make you bloated because the ‘bad’ bacteria may thrive so take a probiotic with it

RESULTS: Per protocol and intention to treat healing rates of esophagitis were: omeprazole = 81
Doctors always say that others should work
Esomeprazole effectively heals inflamed tissue in
I've been taking 40 mg esomeprazole for a few months and I ran out of it
My Primary care prescribed Nexium (Esomeprazole) but my GI prescribed… Esomeprazole to Omeprazole
However, omeprazole is a more potent and longer-acting drug than famotidine
Nexium, at least two studies have concluded that Nexium provides more effective, overall acid control than Prilosec

I’d run it by your doctor if you were prescribed omeprazole, but A common brand for omeprazole is Prilosec®
Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium) and Prilosec (omeprazole magnesium) are two medications in a drug class called proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs
Omeprazole (Prilosec), also available over-the-counter (without a prescription) Esomeprazole (Nexium), also available over-the-counter (without a prescription) Lansoprazole (Prevacid), also available over-the-counter (without a prescription) Rabeprazole (AcipHex) Pantoprazole (Protonix) Dexlansoprazole (Dexilant) Background
There are also differences in additional conditions and ages they treat, warnings, and interactions
I was not prescribed lansoprazole, nor did my doctor tell me about it, nor did I research it beforehand
Nexium and Prilosec are orally administered (taken by mouth) medications that are categorized as proton pump
75 hours meaning you get the most effective dose sooner
I started with Omeprazole 20mg, then did Pantoprazole 40mg, now on Lansoprazole 30mg
PPIs like pantoprazole and omeprazole are more potent than regular antacids and histamine (H2) blockers
