Is Nexium A Good Alternative Of Protonix For Acid Reflux?

I am currently taking 40 mg of Protonix for acid reflux. I have been taking the Protonix for 8 1/2 years. I had previously seen positive results but I feel it is not helping me like it use to. I tried the over the counter Nexium and I feel like it helps me more. Is the Nexium as strong as the Protonix and is it possible I need to have my medicine changed to something other than Protonix?

hi
thanks for using HCM.
as both the drug are from same group but Nexium is newer one, both are almost equally effective.
But if you found Nexium more effective then there is no harm in continuing the newer one.
thanks
