I take a brand-name Proton Pump Inhibitor on a daily basis. Can I switch to generic omeprazole for the lower generic copayment?
Generic medications have the same active ingredients (the chemicals that make medications work) as their brand-name equivalents. Generic omeprazole can be used to treat the same conditions as the brand products listed above, but only your doctor can decide if it is an appropriate course of therapy for you. Talk to your doctor about the medications you are taking and if generic substitution is appropriate for you.
