Just remember these are the uncommon but they do exist, upper respiratory includes ears nose and throat, muscle cramps and pain can be in any part of the body. Nexium and Prilosec formula are virtually the same, they just tossed it around differently gave it a new name, and a higher price cuz people were screaming for OTC equivalent PPI for Prilosec or so the pharmacists say, and I tend to believe them over the Drug com or Dr. If you notice upper resp and throat pain are at the bottom of the list.
