Aciphex is a proton-pump inhibitor that works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach to treat the symptoms of GERD (eg, heartburn, regurgitation of acid, and nausea).
Aciphex is also used to treat Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, ulcers, and is used in combination with other medications to eliminate H. pylori.
