A member asked:
I am wondering what works better. prilosec or aciphex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meds: Both medications are PPI and have similar efficacy. However, though the years I have found that sometimes one will work better than another for a certain individual. There seems to be a link between a persons genetics and efficacy of any medication.
