Aciphex

Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor sold (as its sodium salt) under the brand name Aciphex and Pariet (distributed by Janssen-Ortho).

It is used in the treatment of gastric ulcers and GERD (or heartburn). It is taken once/day along with a full glass of water (preferable 30 min before breakfast). The duration of treatment is usually 4 weeks but could be longer if the symptoms persist.

Sometimes, one may start feeling better after a few days but it is essential to complete the full course of treatment.

Eisai - changes packaging for Aciphex - Brief Article
From Drug Store News, 9/10/01 by Diane West

Eisai continued spreading the word about a packaging change for Aciphex (rabepraxoie sodium), a gastroesophageal reflux disease proton pump inhibitor that Eisai co-markets with Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The 20 mg tablets now are imprinted with the words ACIPHEX 20 and are packaged in squared unit-of-use bottles to accommodate dispensing labels. The change helps distinguish Aciphex from Aricept (donepezil hydrocloride), the Alzheimer's drug Eisai co-markets with Pfizer.
