GENERIC NAME: Rabeprazole
BRAND NAME: Aciphex
Why is Rabeprazole prescribed?
Rabeprazole is used to treat conditions where
the stomach produces too much acid, including
ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD),
and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Rabeprazole
is used in combination with other medications
to eliminate H. pylori, a bacteria that causes
ulcers. Rabeprazole is in a class of medications
called proton-pump inhibitors. It works by decreasing
the amount of acid made in the stomach.
How should Rabeprazole be used?
Rabeprazole comes as a delayed-release (long-acting)
tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken
once a day for 4 to 8 weeks, but it is sometimes
taken for a longer time. When taken for ulcers,
rabeprazole should be taken after the morning
meal. When taken in combination with other medications
to eliminate H. pylori, rabeprazole is taken
twice a day, with the morning and evening meals,
for 7 days. Follow the directions on your prescription
label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist
to explain any part you do not understand. Take
rabeprazole exactly as directed. Do not take
more or less of it or take it more often than
prescribed by your doctor.
Swallow the tablets whole; do not split, chew,
or crush them.
Other uses for Rabeprazole
Rabeprazole may be prescribed for other
uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more
information.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking rabeprazole,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are
allergic to rabeprazole, lansoprazole (Prevacid),
omeprazole (Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix),
or any other medications.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription
and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional
supplements, and herbal products you are taking.
Be sure to mention any of the following: cyclosporine
(Neoral, Sandimmune), digoxin (Lanoxin), and
ketoconazole (Nizoral). Your doctor may need
to change the doses of your medications or monitor
you carefully for side effects.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had
liver disease.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to
become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you
become pregnant while taking rabeprazole, call
your doctor.
What special dietary instructions should
I follow?
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue
your normal diet.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember
it. However, if it is almost time for the next
dose, skip the missed dose and continue your
regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double
dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can Rabeprazole cause?
Rabeprazole may cause side effects. Tell your
doctor if these symptoms are severe or do not
go away:
headache
upset stomach
diarrhea
stomach pain
vomiting
constipation
dry mouth
increased or decreased appetite
muscle or bone pain
drowsiness
dizziness
difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
There may be other side effects from rabeprazole.
Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems
while taking Rabeprazole.
What storage conditions are needed for Rabeprazole?
Keep Rabeprazole in the container it came
in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children.
Store it at room temperature and away from excess
heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw
away any medication that is outdated or no longer
needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper
disposal of your medication.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of overdose, call your local poison
control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim
has collapsed or is not breathing, call local
emergency services at 911.
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the
laboratory.
Do not let anyone else take your medication.
Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about
refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list
of all of the prescription and nonprescription
(over-the-counter) medicines you are taking,
as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals,
or other dietary supplements. You should bring
this list with you each time you visit a doctor
or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is
also important information to carry with you
in case of emergencies.
