Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I live in the UK and have been taking Nexium for years with no problems now my dr. has switched me to Esomeprazole. I am concerned that there may be differences in the compounds as I was given a generic replacement before and I did not feel well. Please tell me if there are different additives in Esomeprazole compaired to Nexium. Thank you
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Nexium is brand name of Esomeprazole drug. So there is no difference between them, only difference that might be in the inactive ingredients used in medicines to give color, form to tablet.These inactive ingredients cause no difference in result of a medicine.
Don't worry you would be fine Hoping your query is solved.
