Switched from Nexium to Protonix
Question:
Hi, I switched from Nexium to Protonix because my health plan had Protonix as a formulary (read cheaper) drug. Now my heartburn is severe. I’ve been taking the Protonix for a week. Both dosages are 40mg. I rarely had heartburn while on the Nexium. Should I give it more time or bite the bullet and go back to Nexium? Thanks.

Response:
Yes, I’d think so. You might consider Aciphex/rabeprazole as it maybe the most effective of class. WARNING: I am not a physician.

I got some samples of Aciphex from the doctor but also got a prescription for Nexium.
