Side Effects and Precautions for Aciphex
Rabeprazole is commonly known to cause side effects like diarrhoea, pain in the abdomen, headache, light-headedness and dryness of mouth. More serious adverse effects include hepatic encephalopathy and hepatitis. Bone fractures have also been reported with Aciphex use. When used in combination with Warfarin, serious bleeding episodes may ensue; patients undergoing treatment with Warfarin must, therefore, make sure they inform their prescribing physician about it before they buy Aciphex. Those with allergy to Aciphex or any other proton pump inhibitor must refrain from consuming this drug. Aciphex is not generally unsafe in pregnant women or nursing mothers. However, its safety in such patients has not been firmly established. Such patients should therefore, use this medication only if it necessary and has been prescribed by a doctor.
