Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to suppress gastric acid production for a number of medical uses. Rabeprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. Just use the medicine according to what is prescribed by your doctor to avoid long term side effects. Take care
