What Causes Stomach Pain After Taking Nexium?

Hi, for many years I have been having Nexium because I have Gerds. Last month, my Pharmacist gave me Omeprazole DR instead. He said that that is the generic of Nexium. When I take this medication I feel a minty taste and I have pain in my stomach like for one hour. Do they have the same drugs?. Something is affecting my stomach.

Seems to be almost same medicine but sometimes there is a problem with one batch of the drug. May be some mixing with other chemical drug ingredients during manufacturer. It is an issue with generics. I preferably suggest you to consult back your Pharmacist for Nexium. Discard this generic and don't take it any more.
