Who can take rabeprazole

Most adults can take rabeprazole.

Who cannot take rabeprazole

Rabeprazole is not suitable for everyone. To make sure that it's safe for you, tell your doctor if you:

  • have ever had an allergic reaction to rabeprazole or any other medicine
  • are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding
  • are due to have an endoscopy

If you’re going to have an endoscopy, ask your doctor if you should stop taking rabeprazole a few weeks before your procedure. This is because rabeprazole may hide some of the problems that would usually be spotted during an endoscopy.
