[Unregistered]

I am told by the pharmacist that I don't need Nexium.... it is converted in the body to Prilosec.

T or F???

Do they have the same actions?

Pretty much true. The Purple pill was a brilliant marketing ploy. Get people to pay for the new brand name patented drug, while the old one goes off patent.

Sigh.
