There are other possible rabeprazole side effects that can occur. These rare side effects occur in less than 1 in 1,000 patients. For these side effects, it is difficult to tell whether the side effect is because of the medication or something else.
Some of these possible side effects for rabeprazole include, but are not limited to:
Swelling of the face
Slowed heart rate (bradycardia)
Pulmonary embolus, which is a blood clot in the lungs
It is possible that you may experience some or none of these side effects of rabeprazole. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right." While it may not be a rabeprazole side effect, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
