1. WHAT RABEPRAZOLE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The name of your medicine is Rabeprazole Sodium 10mg Gastro-resistant tablets or Rabeprazole Sodium
20mg Gastro-resistant tablets (called Rabeprazole throughout this leaflet). Rabeprazole is a medicine that
reduces the production of stomach acid (proton pump inhibitor). It belongs to a group of medicines called
‘proton pump inhibitors’.
Rabeprazole is used
• for the treatment of duodenal ulcers
• for the treatment of benign gastric ulcers
• symptomatic treatment of erosive or ulcerative gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred
to as inflammation of the gullet caused by acid and associated with heartburn
• for long-term treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
• for the symptomatic treatment of moderate and severe forms of reflux oesophagitis
• for the long-term treatment of conditions whereby too much stomach acid is produced (e.g. Zollinger-Ellison
syndrome)
2. WHAT YOU KNEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE RABEPRAZOLE
Do not take Rabeprazole
• if you are allergic to rabeprazole or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking rabeprazole:
• if you are allergic to other proton pump inhibitors
• if you are suffering from severe liver problems
Rabeprazole may hide the symptoms of other diseases. Therefore, if any of the following happen to you
before you start taking rabeprazole or while you are taking it, talk to your doctor straight away:
• You lose a lot of weight for no reason and have problems swallowing.
• You get stomach pain or indigestion.
• You begin to vomit food or blood.
• You pass black stools (blood-stained faeces).
Taking a proton pump inhibitor like Rabeprazole, especially over a period of more than one year, may
slightly increase your risk of fracture in the hip, wrist or spine. Tell your doctor if you have osteoporosis
or if you are taking corticosteroids (which can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Children:
Rabeprazole should not be given to children as there is no experience with Rabeprazole in children.
Other medicines and Rabeprazole
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
If you are also being treated with antibiotics in combination with Rabeprazole, please follow the instructions
for using these (which are given in their respective package leaflets).
Please tell your doctor if you are taking one of the following medicines:
• Medicines to treat fungal infections (e.g. ketoconazole or itraconazole).
• Atazanavir for the treatment of HIV infection, which you should not take together with Rabeprazole
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask
your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
There are no adequate data from the use of rabeprazole in pregnant women. Therefore you must not
take Rabeprazole if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant.
It is not known whether the active substance passes into breast milk. Therefore you must not take
Rabeprazole if you are breastfeeding.
Driving and using machines
It is unlikely that Rabeprazole would affect your ability to drive and use machines.
However, occasionally Rabeprazole can cause drowsiness. Therefore, you should not drive or use
machines if you feel drowsy.
3. HOW TO TAKE RABEPRAZOLE
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if
you are not sure.
Directions for use:
Swallow Rabeprazole tablets whole (not chewed or crushed) before breakfast with a glass of water.
Unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor, the usual dose is:
Treatment of duodenal ulcers, benign gastric ulcers
The usual dose is 20 mg rabeprazole once daily.
Symptomatic treatment of erosive or ulcerative gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
The usual dose is 20 mg rabeprazole once daily.
Symptomatic treatment of moderate to very severe gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
The usual dose is 10 mg rabeprazole once daily.
Long-term treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
Depending on your response to the treatment your doctor will decide on the dose of 10 mg or 20 mg
rabeprazole once daily.
Long-term treatment of patients with conditions whereby too much stomach acid is produced
(e.g. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)
The usual recommended starting dose is 60 mg rabeprazole once daily.
Thereafter, your doctor should individually adjust your dose. The daily dose can be increased to 120 mg
rabeprazole which may require divided doses (60 mg twice daily).
Patients with impaired kidney or liver function
If you belong to this patient group, talk to your doctor. However, a dosage adjustment or change in dose
is usually not required. Patients with severe liver problems should be closely monitored by their doctor.
How long you should take Rabeprazole tablets
Duodenal ulcers generally heal within four weeks. If a four-week course of treatment is not sufficient,
healing will be achieved in almost all cases within four weeks of further treatment.
For benign gastric ulcers, a six-week course of treatment is required in most cases. If this is not sufficient,
healing will be achieved in most cases within six weeks of further treatment.
For erosive or ulcerative gastro-oesophageal reflux disease a four to eight weeks course of treatment is
required.

For long-term maintenance treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease your doctor will advise you
on how long to take your tablets. If you are on a long-term treatment you need to see you doctor at
regular intervals for review of your tablets and symptoms.
If you have moderate to very severe symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, your treatment is
expected to continue for up to 4 weeks. If your symptoms do not resolve within four weeks consult your
doctor. If your symptoms return, following this four week treatment, your doctor may then tell you to take
10mg rabeprazole as and when you require it in order to control your symptoms.
In patients with conditions where too much stomach acid is produced (e.g. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome),
there are no limits on the length of treatment and should be continued for as long as it is required.
If you take more Rabeprazole than you should
If you have taken more Rabeprazole than you should, or if children have been taking medicine by
accident, please contact your doctor or the hospital to get an opinion of the risk and advice on action to
be taken.
If you forget to take Rabeprazole
If you forget to take a dose, just take it immediately when you remember, and then continue as usual.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you stop taking Rabeprazole
Always talk to your doctor, before stopping treatment with Rabeprazole on your own initiative or ending
treatment before you should. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your
doctor or pharmacist.
