Aciphex
Aciphex contains the active ingredient rabeprazole sodium, which is a type of medicine known as a proton pump inhibitor.
It acts in the stomach to decrease the production of stomach acid.
Proton pumps are found on cells that line the stomach, and are used by these cells to produce stomach acid.
Aciphex works by inhibiting the action of the proton pumps, and this reduces the production of stomach acid.
Stomach acid is produced in the stomach as a normal part of the digestive process.
Normally the linings of the stomach and duodenum are protected by a layer that resists acid attack.
However, if this layer is damaged, or large amounts of stomach acid are produced, an ulcer can develop on the lining of the stomach or duodenum.
This is called a peptic ulcer.
By reducing the amount of acid in the stomach and duodenum, Aciphex allows peptic ulcers to heal.
Acid produced in the stomach can also sometimes flow back into the food pipe.
This is called gastro-oesophageal reflux, and can cause pain and a burning sensation known as heartburn.
It can also irritate and damage the lining of the oesophagus, causing a condition called reflux oesophagitis.
By reducing the production of stomach acid, rabeprazole stops excess acid flowing back into the foodpipe and can be used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
Aciphex is also given together with antibiotics to help eradicate bacteria called Helicobacter pylori from the stomach.
These bacteria can contribute to the formation of peptic ulcers.
Rabeprazole helps create an environment in the gut in which the antibiotics can be more effective at killing the bacteria.
Dosage
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): The usual dose is 20 mg once a day for 4 to 8 weeks.
For patients who have not healed after 8 weeks, the doctor may prescribe an additional 8-week course of Aciphex therapy.
To Relieve Symptoms or Prevent a Relapse of GERD: The usual dose is 20 mg once a day.
Duodenal Ulcer: The usual dose is 20 mg taken once daily after the morning meal for a period of up to 4 weeks.
Some people may require an additional 4 weeks of treatment.
Combination Drug Treatment to Eliminate H. Pylori: The recommended combination is 20 mg of AcipHex, 1,000 mg of amoxicillin,
and 500 mg of clarithromycin taken twice a day for 7 days.
It's important to take all three drugs for the entire 7 days.
Cutting the treatment short could fail to eliminate the infection and possibly lead to antibiotic resistance.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: The usual starting dose is 60 mg once a day, although your doctor may adjust the dose based on your individual need.
Doses of up to 100 mg once a day or 60 mg twice a day are sometimes prescribed.
