Dexlansoprazole and omeprazole are both proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) used to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but they are different medications. Dexlansoprazole is the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole and has a dual delayed-release formulation, while omeprazole is a distinct chemical entity with a different release mechanism and pharmacokinetic profile.
