What's the difference between prilosec and prevacid.?

They are both in the same class of drug, called Proton Pump Inhibitors.  They both work in pretty much the same way.  Differences, one is purple, the other is pink/black (30mg).  Prilosec is available in generic (omeprazole) and over-the-counter, where Prevacid still has its patent and is only available as a prescription.  Insurance will probably pay for the Prevacid.  Many insurance companies won't pay for anything that is over-the-counter.

Check the ingredients list.  If they both have parcetamol in then DO NOT take the second med until 6 hours after you took the previous one.  To take both would give your body an overdose...;

If you refer to Gram positive (G+)and Gram negative (G-):\nThe main difference is in the thickness of the peptidoglican layer. G- has about 10 layers of PG while G+ has more then 100 layers of PG. there are many more differences like the tichoic acid in G+ and the outer membrane and periplasm in the G-

I see some allegations on behalf of some people.  I found a document that says:\n\nI simple google search brings up a Mr. Swapan Banerjee from Ontario, and claims that he is filling suit in conjunction with his Permax treatment.  \n\nI just see a lof of talk that agonists (ie Permax, Mirapex, and Requip).  However, Permax appears to be talked about less.  I believe that Mirapex and Requip are prescribed more, so they would be the bigger fish.  I did not do a lot of research, but this is just conjecture from what I've heard.

Use low dose "baby" aspirin so that you don't get an ulcer.  Get the "adult heart therapy" labeled aspirin.  Its the same dose as baby aspirin, but its a lot cheaper.

A briefer answer.\n\nThey are the same medicine, in different forms. The "CR" means "controlled release". In other words, the dose is release over time, not at once.

It is best for your boyfriend to see a physician, if you are students, the student health center will provide you with healthcare for an affordable price and all students are required to have health insurance. For symptoms of reflux, there are OTC medications you can use such as famotidine or others which are stronger such as prilosec. But both of you should really see a physician. Your symptoms will not stop immediately - you will need to take medicines for a good 6-12months before you can consider stopping them.

Gas Ex is good.  The chewable tablets has the stuff in it to help relieve gas and also acid.  \n\nLiquid Malox taste nasty but works quick. Relief is wonderful.

Well, they are both used for heartburn. I don't know how they really compare, but I do know that for a lot of people Protonix is way too expensive. My pharmacist (I work at a pharmacy) always tells people complaining about the price to try Prilosec OTC and they will usually stick with it. You should call a pharmacy or your doctors office for more information though.

Heartburn can last a short amount of time to several days. Go for the OTC medicine (Prilosec, Zantac, Maalox, Rolaids) and stay away from anything with acid in it (orange juice, etc.) for the short runs. Anything longer should be discussed with your doctor. Progressive burning may be GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). \n\nNexium.com is a good site for information on both heartburn and GERD.

Do me a favor and go get the OTC version of Prilosec and take it for a month.  If you get rid of or improve the hoarseness, you had GERD, or acid reflux.  Of course, if you quit smoking the GERD might clear up on its own (smoke makes all sorts of problems and GERD is one).

Tagamet is over the counter and is in a different class of stomach drugs than Aciphex. Aciphex is in a class called proton-pump inhibitors and helps gastroesophageal reflux and decreases acid production. Tagamet is in a class called H2-blockers and help more with gas symptoms as well as some heartburn symptoms. Try Prilosec OTC first instead of Aciphex which is only prescription. Tagamet HB is over the counter, Tagamet can be prescribed at higher doses by your doctor.

For me, it took a few days to stop the pain.  After I finished the 14 days of Prevpac, I still got sharp pain 3 times in one month & then no more.  My doctor said it just took a long time for my stomach to finish healing.  Now it's been two months since I finished the Prevpac & I haven't had any problems.\nHang in there!  Those 14 days were horrible for me - and I was taking them during my university midterms.  I had a hard time focusing, staying awake, etc. But that was much better than to run the risk of problems getting worse.

You may have an ulcer or gastritis, which is an irritation of the stomach lining and can precede an ulcer.\nBland diet is best.  Fatty food, dairy foods will make it worse. And no citrus.\nOver the counter Zantac and Prevacid are available.\nSee a doctor for advice.
