Prescription strength Nexium does wonders for stomach, far better than Prilosec does. It makes me able to tolerate the medication. I take the generic version of Relafin.

Unfortunately, rx strength Nexium is in a higher tier in our plan therefore too high a cost for us. I do appreciate you letting me know about it, tho.

I had the same problem but got the doctor to write a letter stating I had tried everything else. Unfortunately, I now have NO insurance and am quickly running out of Nexium. I'm afraid to see what it will cost. I'll definitely be shopping price!
