What is Aciphex used for?      

Aciphex is used for:

1.     short-term healing of a gradual breakdown (erosion) or sore (ulceration) in the esophagus which may be caused by the backward flow of gastric acid from the stomach into the esophagus (gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD);

2.     maintenance of healing of erosive or ulcerative GERD;

3.     treatment of daytime and nighttime heartburn and other symptoms associated with GERD;

4.     short-term (up to 4 weeks) healing of an ulcer in the duodenum;

5.     elimination  of Helicobacter pylori, in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin, to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence in patients with a current duodenal ulcer or a duodenal ulcer in the past 5 years;

6.     medical conditions that result in the body secreting too much acid, including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.  

General Precautions with Aciphex:  

Aciphex does not work for everyone.  Improvement in your symptoms does not prevent you from having other stomach-related medical conditions.  

What should tell my doctor or health care provider?  

Because Aciphex lowers the level of acid in your stomach, certain other medications can interact with Aciphex.  Review all medications that you are taking with your health care provider, including those that you take without a prescription.  

Tell your health care provider if you are trying to become pregnant, are already pregnant, or are breast-feeding.
