Frequently asked questions

What is Rabeprazole used for?

Rabeprazole is used to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers, reflux esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It reduces stomach acid production, alleviating symptoms and preventing acidity related to painkillers and stress ulcers in critically ill patients.

Can I take alcohol with Rabeprazole?

No, alcohol should be avoided with Rabeprazole as it can increase acid production and worsen symptoms.

Does Rabeprazole cause bone problems?

Yes, long-term Rabeprazole use can lead to osteoporosis due to decreased calcium absorption, increasing the risk of fractures. Ensure adequate calcium intake through diet or supplements as advised by your doctor.

Can I take Rabeprazole with vitamin D?

Yes, vitamin D can be taken with Rabeprazole to help mitigate calcium deficiency caused by the medication. Consult your doctor for recommendations on preventing bone issues.

What is the best time to take Rabeprazole?

Take Rabeprazole one hour before meals, avoid spicy and fatty foods, and limit caffeinated drinks and alcohol to help alleviate acidity.

How is Rabeprazole useful in the treatment of H. pylori infection?

Rabeprazole is used with antibiotics to treat H. pylori infection by reducing stomach acid, which enhances antibiotic effectiveness and provides symptomatic relief from acidity and heartburn.

What other lifestyle changes should I make to get maximum benefit from Rabeprazole?
