Rabeprazole sodium is the newest member of a class of substituted benzimidazole molecules known as proton pump inhibitors. Other proton pump inhibitors have been shown to be effective in healing active, benign gastric ulcers.
Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, multicentrestudy, conducted at 25 European sites, rabeprazole and
omeprazole were compared in patients with active gastric ulcers. Two hundred and twenty-seven patients with active benign gastric ulcer were randomized to receive either rabeprazole 20 mg (nà 113) or omeprazole 20 mg (nà 114) once daily for 3 or 6 weeks, with healing monitored by endoscopy. Results : After 3 weeks, complete healing (ITT analysis) was documented in 58% of patients given rabeprazole and 61% in patients given omeprazole (N.S.). After 6 weeks the healing rates were identical in both groups at 91%. Rabeprazole-treated patients had numerically greater symptom relief at all 12 points of comparison. The differences significantly favoured rabeprazole at week 3 for daytime pain improvement (P= 0.023) and at week 6 for pain frequency (P= 0.006) and complete resolution of night pain (P= 0.022). Both drugs were well-tolerated over the 6-week treatment course. Mean changes from baseline to end-point in fasting serumgastrin were comparable. No significant differences in laboratory parameters were seen.
Conclusion: In this study, rabeprazole produced healing rates comparable to omeprazole at weeks 3 and 6, but provided more consistent and occasionally significantly superior symptom improvement. Both treatments were well-tolerated.
The difference between pantoprazole and rabeprazole is rabeprazole can be used with an antibiotic to treat H. pylori infections in the stomach. Pantoprazole comes in a stronger dose of 40mg.
Omeprazole is used to treat heartburn that occurs two more days a week. It is a delayed-release medicine. Omeprazole magnesium is used to treat heartburn (not for immediate relief), GERD and is used to promote healing erosive esophagitis.
What is the dissolution medium for rabeprazole and domperidone tablet as a combined dosage form?
yes
difference between activator and inhibitor
The difference between pantoprazole and rabeprazole is rabeprazole can be used with an antibiotic to treat H. pylori infections in the stomach. Pantoprazole comes in a stronger dose of 40mg.
no difference except the name
I think it means "delayed release"
Omeprazole (Prilosec)Lanoprazole (Prevacid)Esomeprazole (Nexium)Pantoprazole (Protonix)Rabeprazole (Acifex)
I have never had problems, in fact it seems to help the omeprazole take affect better for me, but everyone reacts different. Yes, you can take Prilosec (omeprazole) with marijuana. You can also take all the other drugs in omeprazole's family, such as Nexium (esomeprazole), Prevacid (lansoprazole), Protonix (pantoprazole), Aciphex (rabeprazole) etc....
There are five drugs in this class: esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole (Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix), and rabeprazole (Aciphex).
Omeprazole is used to treat heartburn that occurs two more days a week. It is a delayed-release medicine. Omeprazole magnesium is used to treat heartburn (not for immediate relief), GERD and is used to promote healing erosive esophagitis.
Esomeprazole is an isomer of omeprazole.
yes rabeprazole is safe in pregnancy but in 2nd trimester not in ist trimester and also safe in 3rd tirmester
Omeprazole refers to the drug substance itself, but can also mean any drug containing omeprazole. Omeprazole 20 mg ec likely refers to a specific finished pharmaceutical product (i.e. a drug product, like a tablet or capsule), that contains 20 mg of omeprazole, and is enterically coated. The enteric coat (ec) is required to prevent the omeprazole from being degraded in the stomach by the gastric acid. This means that the part of the product containing the omeprazole will be undissolved until the product enters the gut, specifically the duodenum. Some omeprazole products are not enteriically coated, and instead contain an alkaline substance to neutraliz the gastric acid, and thus prevent degradation of omeprazole.
GERD
Rabeprazole is the only ppi which doesn't require cyp2c19 to metabolize in the body.so no drug interaction with other drugs which are taken with rabeprazole.but pantoprazole required same that why rabeprazole is superior compare to pantoprazole
