Aciphex (rabeprazole sodium) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other gastrointestinal disorders.

Aciphex is also used to treat conditions such as erosive esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and Helicobacter pylori infection. Aciphex is part of a larger market of gastrointestinal drugs, which includes other PPIs such as Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid, as well as H2 blockers like Zantac and Pepcid.
