The FDA requires generic medications to demonstrate bioequivalence, meaning the same active ingredient, strength, dosage form, and route of administration as the brand-name product. A generic version of Esomeprazole works the same way in the body as brand Nexium 24HR.

Steps to save on Nexium 24HR
1. Compare cash prices
Compare Nexium 24HR cash prices across every US pharmacy before you fill — the same drug can cost several times more at one counter than another.
2. Check for a generic
Ask your prescriber or pharmacist about generic Esomeprazole, which is usually far cheaper than brand Nexium 24HR and is FDA-rated therapeutically equivalent.
3. Apply a pharmacy coupon
Use a free discount coupon (such as GoodRx) at the pharmacy counter. Coupons and insurance cannot be combined, so compare the cash-coupon price against your copay.

5. Try mail-order
Mail-order pharmacies like Mark Cuban Cost Plus often price 90-day generic supplies below retail. Confirm the drug is in their catalog first.
