Drug Uses
Aciphex decreases the amount of acid produced in your stomach. Aciphex is
used to treat ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD or heartburn),
and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid production.
How Taken
Aciphex is available for oral administration as delayed-release, enteric-coated
tablets. The recommended adult oral dose is one Aciphex 20 mg delayed-release
tablet to be taken once daily for four to eight weeks. Take each dose with
a full glass of water. Do not break, chew, or split the tablets. Swallow
them whole. They are specially formulated to release slowly in your body.
