Well, I have been on Nexium for 3 years now. It's the only medication that would work. Considering I have acid reflux disease and have had 2 ulcers. I tried Prilosec before, some people tell me it worked great for them, for me, i took it about 3 days and it made my stomach feel worse! Nexium is the best medicine by far that I've found to work...
Nexium is simply another isomer of Prilosec, or a chemical brother to it. It has exactly the same actions, since it is a mirror image of the molecule.

What over the counter medication can be used in place of Rabeprazole?
you could take an h2 blocker. these drugs end in "dine" like famotidine which is pepcid. proton pump inhibitors end in "zole" like rabeprazole "aciphex". prilosec (omeprazole) and nexium "esomeprazole". I think both nexium and prilosec both have otc versions. prilosec being a little less money than nexium. Pharmacist are ALWAYS !! willing to answer questions. Dont hesitate to ask one when you have drug questions. Next time your getting groceries go by the pharmacy and let someone know you would like to ask the pharm a question. Also if you have a serious condition you should call up your doc and ask him what he wants you to take instead. there are slight differences between tummy meds and that's why you go to the doc in the first place and don't just diagnois yourself. Oh my stomach...hmm dine's or zole's. Pharm takes 8 years and doc takes 10 years, takes both to make sure you get right meds. cant just do a little ressearch online and make a good choice. gl
