What Is The Difference Between Prilosec And Nexium?

I wanted to know what was the difference between Prilosec and Nexium. All I know they are both purple. Is one better than the other.
Thank You.

Nexium??????

I was given Nexium by my doctor for my acid reflux plus unexplained stomach pain. If I try not to take it my pains and acid reflux comes back. My question is…can I continue to take this medicine forever with no repercussions?

Does it matter what time you take Nexium? Just starting today.?

No it does not matter. I started on Nexium 2 months ago and I take mine in the morning. Whatever is easiest for you to remember. It works great!

Besides Nexium or other drugs what is a good cure for Acid Reflux (heartburn)?

The typical recommendations for acid reflux that do not include medication are:-Do not eat three to four hours before bedtime.-Raise the head of the bed (a brick under each of the two legs at the head of the bed are sufficient).-Avoid wearing tight clothing.-Avoid use of caffiene.-Avoid large meals (eat more frequent, smaller meals).If all else fails, see a doctor. You may have a structural defect (like a hiatal hernia) or other condition (like H. Pylori) that may need treatment.

What’s the cause of extremely sour taste in mouth?
