Anyone know if omeprazole works as well as nexium? The prescription
omeprazole is sure a lot cheaper than nexium with our insurance.
Would appreciate any feedback.

It depends very much on the individual patient. If long-term use is
necessary many patients find that they have to switch PPIs as they lose
their efficacy or the side-effects www.drugs.com www.rxlist.com increase and
get too much.

I started on Nexium 40 mg in Feb. 2003, switched to Pantoprazole (aka
Protonix) 20-40 mg in Dec. 2004 and started Omeprazole 20 mg, which I have
been able to drop down to every other day a couple of months ago. I am not
experiencing any side-effects at this dose.

Long-term side-effects include hip fracture and it would be worth discussing
with your doctor how you can decrease the risk of this - a suitable sports
regime? Prophylactic calcium and vitamin D or a high calcium diet?

I am able to keep my disease under control by strictly implementing the
required GERD lifestyle changes http://www.gicare.com/pated/ecdgs39.htm
Plus I have my other diseases currently more or less under control - hence
the drop in dose of the PPIs. If I must sin then I do it in the morning and
not in the evening because my GERD is at its worst at night (after sinning)
despite sleeping elevated. However, over the years I have found it easier
and easier to forego chocolate, sweets, coffee, black tea, alcohol, etc., if
it means a substantially increased quality of life.

I eat about 3 portions of fruit (not citrus fruit) including a diluted fruit
(pineapple or low acid apple) juice per day to compensate for my low sugar
intake. In this complexed form, I don't have exacerbation of GERD from the
fruit sugars. However, I am on the thin side and need the calories.

I had my gall bladder out last year and the symptoms were confounding my
GERD because of the reaction of the sick gall bladder to diet.

I must also add that we are all different and you will have to tweak your
diet accordingly. What works for me might not necessarily work for you.

Hi,

For me, omeprazole did not work as well as nexuim. But it's such an
individual thing. If omaprezole works for you, then great, stick with it.
