What is Aciphex Used For? Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat various acid-related stomach and/or throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., GERD, ulcers, or Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome). It works by blocking the production of acid in the stomach. Aciphex may also be used with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin) to treat certain ulcers caused by bacterial infection (Heliobacter pylori infection).
How To Use Aciphex
Take Aciphex by mouth, usually once daily before a meal; or as directed by your doctor. The dosage and length of treatment is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Do not crush, chew, or split Aciphex. Swallow the medication whole. If you take sucralfate in addition to Aciphex, take your dose of rabeprazole at least 30 minutes before your sucralfate. Antacids may be taken along with Aciphex, if needed.
