Rabeprazole (Aciphex^®) is approved to treat several conditions, such as duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and erosive esophagitis. Because this prescription medication is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach. Although side effects of this medication are typically minor, they can include things such as headaches, diarrhea, and nausea. Before taking this medication, make sure your healthcare provider is aware of any other medical conditions you may have, as rabeprazole is not suitable for everyone.
