Want this question answered?
Yes, they are both the same type of medication.
Yes, esomeprazole and omeprazole are different drugs. Esomeprazole is an active metabolite of "omeprazole" and is more active at the same dose. Both acts on "proton pump", reducing stomach acidity.
yes
Drug tolerant
No, stat means "ASAP!" PRN means "as needed"
Yes you can I take the same meds and have for years.
Yes, they are considered to be in the same class. Both drugs are Proton Pump Inhibitors.
Tolerance in addiction refers to the need for a person to consume increasing amounts of a substance to achieve the same effect they previously experienced with lower doses. This can signify the body's adaptation to the substance, which may require higher doses to produce the desired effect.
All I wanted to know if these two medicines worked on the same order to stop reflux? And if not which one do I throw away? Thank You
Simple answer, no one knows. Regulatory authorities assume that radiation doses follow a linear plot based on cases of high dose exposure alone, and do extrapolate down to zero, because there is little to no information of effects of low doses, and they have to assume something (they cannot simply ignore low doses, so they assume the worst). Currently, all knowledge of radiation and it's effects comes from relatively high doses, i.e. from accidents like Chernobyl, since you can't actually experiment to see what happens, and low dose effects are very long term and any conditions the do later develop cannot be specifically assigned to low dose radiation exposure conclusively. However, there is some study on a principle called radiation hormesis that suggests that low doses in addition to the natural background are actually beneficial.
No, Prilosec is Omeprazole, a different drug. Ranitidine is "Zantac".
the same but with an 'e' at the end. so its omeprazole
