I was given this instead of Esomeprazole Dr 40mg cap... My new med looks different than what I got last month... It's a white capsule with I and 82. Is it the same med? ## Yes, it is just another generic for it. It is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma and they do list it as containing 40mgs of Omeprazole. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## You are saying that Esomepra mag Dr is Prilosec??? It should be the generic for Nexium, not Omeprazole which is generic for Prilosec. If so, I was given a 90 day supply of something that I don't take??? So is it Nexium or Prilosec? ## Hi, its Jim...I just noticed I got that damn esomepra mag...had an argument with the ...

Is it safe to use Omeprazole that expired in October 2014, considering it's now January 2015? ## Hello, Shirley! How are you? Omeprazole doesn't get dangerous once it's expired, but it may start to lose effectiveness versus when it was new, depending upon how it was stored. According to Harvard University’s Medical Center, “Most of what is known about drug expiration dates comes from a study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration at the request of the military. With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from their study is that 90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date. So, ...

Need to know what this round yellow wafer is that has RP 115 on one side? Thank u. ## Hi Amanda, "RP" sounds like the abbreviation for a product from Rhodes Pharmaceuticals, as they label many of their tablets in this manner. If you have a moment, I'd recommend contacting them directly for more specific details at: rhodespharma.com/get-in-touch NOTE: There have also been other reports of a large, flat, greyish tablet with RP 115 that's reportedly an antacid similar to TUMS. Since yours is yellow and depicted differently, I can only hope these additional clues help narrow down some possibilities. Please post back if you come across any further information.

It contains Domperidone and is most commonly used to treat symptoms of IBS, since it can increase the contractions of the stomach, and bowel. The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, stomach pain, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
