Nexpro Rd 40 (withdrawal Question)

After having back and chest pain symptoms my cardiologist recommend that I take Nexpro RD 40 mg and once I started on Nexpro I got relief. After being on Nexpro RD for 14 months I ended up having to take omeprazole instead of nexpro for about the last 3-4 weeks because I ran out of nexpro and thought it would not hurt much...but seems like my back and chest pain symptoms are back with a vengence. My current doctor switched me to Dexilant 60 mg and after being on Dexilant for the last 2 weeks do not see much relief. Is there a big difference between Nexpro RD 40 MG and Dexilant 60 mg - and if so what.

REPORT

Nexpro (Esomeprazole) and Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) are both used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). They also work in the same manner, by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.

That said, the primary differences lie within the chemical makeup of each drug, as well as the addition of certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each tablet.

Both of these factors play a detrimental role as to how each drug is metabolized and used by your body. Because everyone is different, your body may agree with one medication over the other, due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves.
