Frequently Asked Questions
Is esomeprazole the same as Nexium?
Esomeprazole is the generic form of Nexium. It is bioequivalent and costs $10–$20/month. Brand Nexium can cost $200–$260/month — making the generic one of the largest cost-saving switches.
What is the difference between esomeprazole and omeprazole?
Esomeprazole is the S-enantiomer of omeprazole. At equivalent doses, clinical outcomes are essentially identical for most patients. Both are excellent PPI options.
Can I take esomeprazole long-term?
Long-term PPI use (>1 year) is associated with modest risks including B12 deficiency, hypomagnesaemia, and increased fracture risk. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed.
Is OTC omeprazole as good as prescription esomeprazole?
