Protonix vs. Nexium
by Patti1961, Aug 20, 2009 01:09PM
My 19 year old daughter has just been diagnosed wtih an esophogeal ulcer. She was prescribed 40mg of Protonix once a day. She has been taking this medication for one week, and has been experiencing dizziness and nausea. She weighs about 120 lbs. I looked online, and it appears that these are side effects that some patients experience. My question is: would Nexium pose the same problems for her?

All of the PPIs are going to have side-effects but people can tolerate some brands better than others. If she's having a problem with one brand of PPI, then she needs to try another one. Don't let the doc tell you that all PPIs are the same - they're not.
