How to take
Consume rabeprazole once every day, with or free of food. Swallow

the morning and another time in the evening. This three-medication
regimen needs to be taken with meals.

Get emergency medical assistance if you have any of these indicators
of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of
your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Less somber unwanted effects would contain:
· Headache
· Upset stomach or diarrhea;
· Insomnia or nervousness; or
· A rash or itching.
This will not be a full list of unwanted effects and others would
occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome unwanted
effects.
Precaution
If you have stomach ulcers on account of the H. pylori bacteria,
rabeprazole could make the condition slightly worse. The healthcare
professional would order a test for H. pylori before prescribing this
medicine. If you test positive, the health care provider would prescribe
antibiotics along with rabeprazole.
Rabeprazole has not been tested in children under 18 years of age.
medication interactions
There have been reports of an increase in the effect of the blood
thinner, warfarin, by rabeprazole which theoretically could bring
about increased bleeding. Patients taking warfarin needs to be monitored
more frequently if the begin taking rabeprazole.
Rabeprazole would cut down the elimination of cyclosporin in the liver,
thereby increasing cyclosporin levels in the blood and potentially
lead to cyclosporin toxicity.
The absorption of certain drugs is affected by alterations in stomach
acidity. Rabeprazole and any other PPIs that lower stomach acid
reduce the absorption and concentration in blood of ketoconazole
(Nizoral) and increase the absorption and concentration in blood
of digoxin (Lanoxin). This would lead to reduced effectiveness of
ketoconazole or increased digoxin toxicity, correspondingly.
Tell your medical doctor if you are trying to become pregnant, are
already pregnant, or are breast-feeding.
Missed dose
Use the missed dose when you remember. If it is almost time for
your next dose, wait until then to consume the medicine and skip
the missed dose. Do not use extra medication to make up the missed
dose.
