How To Use Rabeprazole (Aciphex)

Rabeprazole comes in the form of a delayed release tablet to take by mouth once or twice a day. To treat duodenal ulcers, the medication is taken after the morning meal. To treat H. pylori, it is taken with antibiotics (amoxicillin and clarithromycin) twice a day with the morning and evening meals.

Swallow the rabeprazole tablet whole without cutting, crushing, or chewing it.

Read the prescription label carefully and take rabeprazole exactly as prescribed. Do not perform a dosage adjustment without your doctor’s approval. Do not stop treatment without talking with your doctor. Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or get worse.

Missed dose: If you forget to take a dose of rabeprazole, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose or extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

Storage: Store rabeprazole at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in a tightly closed container. Do not store medications in the bathroom, where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused or expired rabeprazole should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw rabeprazole in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to dispose of expired or unneeded rabeprazole is through your local waste disposal company or a drug take-back program. Learn more about proper medication disposal.
