Suggest An Alternative Medication For Nexium
Tricare is ending coverage of Nexium. They suggest three alternatives. Omeprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole. I am 71. Had breast cancer although needed only surgery, but take the anti estrogen medication. I am now taking injections of prolia for bones....what should I switch to or should I ask my doctor to submit the paperwork to continue nexium?
