Do the prescription drugs Nexium and AcipHex have the same treatment results?

As a general rule, standard doses of proton pump inhibitors (20 mg of omeprazole, 30 mg of lansoprazole, 20 mg of rabeprazole, or 40 mg of pantoprazole, all administered before breakfast) will relieve symptoms and heal esophagitis in approximately 85 to 90 percent of patients.Most patients with GERD, particularly those with sever esophagitis, will relapse once therapy is discontinued.AcipHex possesses a slightly faster onset of action because of its pharmacokinetics. Overall, when comparing proton pump inhibitors (PPI), such as Nexium and AcipHex, while some differences have been reported, the magnitude of differences has been small and of uncertain clinical importance. In particular, the degree to which any of the reported differences would justify the selection of one versus another PPI, particularly when considering cost-effectiveness, is unclear.-physician at large.

Is there any pediatricians or GI Specialists here?

I need expert advise, so if youre not an expert please don’t respond, unless you’ve had the same problems. I have a daushter that is 1 month. She was diagnosed with GERD( acid reflux) when she was 2 weeks.Nothing stays down even after the rice cereal, she cries all night, and I just want her to be comfortable. The doctors keep perscribing her different medicines( Zantac, Axid, Reglan) but nothing seems to work for her. We’re going to see a specialist but not soon enough. Her doctor said that we might have to do surgery, but before we do that I just need to know is there any other medicines we should try or is there anything else we can do to help her befor putting here through surgery because shes so young? Please e-mail me or contact me any way possible if you have any answers for me. I really need your help.
