Sandoz Omeprazole Inactive

I started with KREME omeprazole. Worked like a charm.
Now me prescription was filled with SANDOZ omeprazole. I seems to be totally inactive and the chemical looks yellow instead of white. My reflux returned.
Could it have degraded in hot storage??

Often times I find that the storage conditions have a pretty significant impact on the overall lifespan of a pill. So it sounds like that could very well be a possibility.

I also wanted to mention that when you switch brand names or manufacturers the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the binders or fillers that they put with it. Certain "inactive" ingredients which may or may not be present in each brand, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body.

So it is possible that you may respond favorably with one medication and not the other (even if they are the same active ingredient). This can be attributed mostly to how these binders/fillers make you feel or whatever side effects they might carry.

I hope this info helps! Have you tried asking your doctor for the Kreme brand again?
