A member asked:

Can i take my prescription of prilosec today because i took nexus this morning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gastritis: I assume you are talking about Nexium (esomeprazole)? Both Prilosec and Nexium (esomeprazole) are proton pump inhibitors that decrease acid production in your stomach - taking both will not help any extra, choose which one works best.
