Benefits

In Acidity: Zuropraz switches off the pumps in the stomach lining that make acid, so there is far less acid to cause burning and discomfort.
In Acid reflux: Zuropraz reduces the acid that rises into the food pipe, relieving heartburn and giving an inflamed food pipe time to heal.
In Stomach ulcer: Zuropraz lowers stomach acid enough for an ulcer to heal and, with antibiotics when needed, helps clear the infection behind it.
In Heartburn: Zuropraz prevents the burning behind the breastbone that comes after meals or at night, so you can eat and sleep comfortably.

Side effects

Most side effects of Zuropraz are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Headache
diarrhea
nausea
stomach pain

constipation

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Take by mouth as advised by the doctor. Commonly taken once daily, preferably 30 minutes before food (often before breakfast). Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew.

How it works

Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It irreversibly blocks the H+/K+ ATPase (proton pump) in stomach parietal cells, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion and relieving acidity and ulcer symptoms.
