About Aciphex:

The purpose of Aciphex is to lessen the volume of acid your stomach creates.

Stomachs saturated with acid can trigger the existence of diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD – also known as Acid Reflux) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Esophagus damage (erosive esophagitis) can also occurs due to a strong acidic presence, and can be healed faster with the Rabeprazole component of Aciphex.

In order to ward against gastric ulcers provoked by infections with H pylori, antibiotics may also be prescribed with Aciphex.

There may be other uses of Aciphex not mentioned in this description.
