Is there any difference between Aciphex and Protonix?!


Question: Is there any difference between Aciphex and Protonix!?
I'm taking Protonix which is sort of working, but I'm still getting breakthrough reflux!. My friend gave me Aciphex and I got cramps in my stomach by the 5th day!. Not sure if it was from the Aciphex or the beer I was drinking!.Yes, I know, I shouldn't be drinking beer with reflux!. Well, I'm not anymore, but I still want to know if the cramping came from the Aciphex or the beer because if the Protonix isn't working, I want to switch but I'm afraid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
They are in the same class of medication (Proton Pump Inhibitors)!.!.,but it's like some people swear by Excedrin & others by Bufferin!.
Do you take Protonix 2X/day!? If not, ask MD to increase dose!.
If Aciphex would cause stomach cramps take with food!.

You might also add Mylanta or Maalox for break thru acid (both OTC liquids)!.

Google: mayo clinic>>diseases>>GERD

Don't be afraid!.!.!.speak with your doc
