Used For:

Rabeprazole sodium is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat various conditions caused by excess stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and to help prevent stomach ulcers in patients taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Rabeprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining, reducing the production of stomach acid and allowing for healing of ulcers and alleviating GERD symptoms such as heartburn.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of rabeprazole sodium include headache, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and flatulence. Some individuals may experience dizziness, fatigue, or constipation. Long-term use of PPIs like rabeprazole may increase the risk of bone fractures, kidney disease, and certain infections such as Clostridium difficile. Rare side effects include allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing.

Precautions:

Rabeprazole should be used with caution in individuals with a history of liver disease, as it may require dose adjustments. It should also be used with care in older adults or those with osteoporosis due to the potential for bone thinning with long-term use. Prolonged use of PPIs can also lead to vitamin B12 deficiency, so monitoring may be necessary for long-term users. Rabeprazole may interact with certain medications, such as warfarin or digoxin, so it is important to inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using rabeprazole.
