A member asked:
Can i take nexium (esomeprazole) and omeprazole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Both are same proton pump inhibitors. Omeprazole came first and when patent ran out the company took out one molecule of no significance and branded nexium (esomeprazole). The effective chemical s-enantiomer esoomprazol is the same in both drugs.
