What Is The Best Alternative To Nexium?
The best alternative to Nexium... I take Nexium 40mg 1x daily in the morning and it works great all day and night, till the next dose. Also do you know if they are ever going to come out with a generic for Nexium..being that my insurance company just dropped the coverage for it and it is too expensive....

Hi, Gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Nexium is the brand name for Esomeprazole. It is used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
The other similar functioning drugs are Famotidine, Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole. etc,
You can discuss with your insurance company whether anyone of these are under their coverage and select that one.
Hope this guides you. Thank you.
