AcipHex, which is generically known as Rabeprazole, is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug. It is meant to function as an anti-ulcer drug and to treat the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Essentially, AcipHex helps alleviate situations, such as ulcers, that are caused by excess amounts of acid in the stomach. Furthermore, AcipHex helps to relieve heartburn and other such symptoms. Although AcipHex is generally effective at treating these symptoms, it has the potential to cause a variety of serious side effects.

Of all of the AcipHex side effects, the most serious involve the increased risk of bone fractures. However, these are not the only adverse reactions to AcipHex. A more complete list of AcipHex adverse effects includes, but is not limited to the following:

  • Diarrhea

  • Dark Urine

  • Allergic Reactions

  • Decreased Appetite

  • Nausea

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about Aciphex bone fracture. The makers of Aciphex are now required to include the following on the packaging of Aciphex:

“People who are taking multiple daily doses of Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) medicines for a long period of time may have an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine.”

This warning was issued in response to many reports of people suffering form broken bones as a result of taking AcipHex and other proton pump inhibitors. The FDA, in turn, conducted a series of studies to determine whether or not the increased risk of bone fracture had a direct correlation to broken bones.
