Dunno about the calcium... doesn't show in the list of ingredients
now...  According to the drug insert (that shows the chemical
formulation, etc), Prilosec is both the R and the S form of omeprazole,
and Nexium is only the S form, hence the generic name esomeprazole.  The
"inactive" ingredients are different... that's actually the part that
concerns me some about whether or not it will work as well for me... I
think that the inactives in Nexium are probably the same as those in the
generic omeprazole, which I had to stop taking because I was having
severe troubles with fluid retention in my feet, which I don't get with
the brand Prilosec capsules... crossing my fingers on that one...

Oh, I know...  But I do know more than just a little about the chemistry
involved... and do read the inserts (the ones with the microscopic
printing [g]) thoroughly...  And I also know that in this case, the
price between them all is pretty comparable...  even the generic stayed
rather pricy... 

 SD> I don't take the omperazole twice a day all the time, but with how

Periodically, sometimes just on accident, and sometimes a little more
intentional, I try going on just one a day... doesn't quite hold me, at
least not more than one skip every so often... I couldn't just drop to
once a day...

We dropped way back on salt consumption years ago, back when other older
family members were being forced to do so for medical reasons... so I
don't cook or bake with a lot of it, and we don't generally add it at
the table, either... but we aren't particularly avoiding it, as we will
get snacks that have some salt on them...  But we don't much like the
taste of things that are what many consider normally salted... for us
they are way over-salted...  :)
