Mode of action of rabeprazole
Rabeprazole belongs to the group of proton pump inhibitors. Like all drugs in this group, rabeprazole also reduces the release of gastric acid. This will prevent and / or treat heartburn and esophagitis, as well as gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Rabeprazole is a drug precursor (prodrug) and is only converted into the actual effective form in the body. After it has reached the parietal cells of the stomach via the bloodstream, the active active form is created in the acidic environment of the cells. Since this conversion occurs more rapidly in rabeprazole than in the other proton pump inhibitors, rabeprazole shows a faster onset of action. The effect of rabeprazole is one hour after ingestion, reaches its maximum after two to four hours, and lasts for 24 to 48 hours.
Rabeprazole is administered in enteric-coated drug forms (for example, prolonged-release tablets). This prevents premature drug decomposition in the acidic environment of the stomach. Only after reaching the small intestine is rabeprazole released and can be taken up from here into the bloodstream.

Since I’ve done acupuncture, I rarely have stomach aches and irregular bowel movements. The lactigest (lactoeal energy) helped in this case flatulence / pain in the abdomen and irregular bowel movements are gone. Of course with the note that I consciously eat.

Side effects: Sleep disorders
Pariet for Esophagus inflammation; Reflux
Since I did not tolerate omeprazole (got cramps and muscle twitching at night, confusion states) I tried my luck with Pariet 20mg. One tablet in the evening before sleeping. Already in the first night I woke up by an internal trembling and restlessness. Also in the following nights I could not sleep properly, only after about 2 weeks I was able to sleep through a few hours again. Already after a short intake I noticed side effects like headache, diarrhea, drowsiness during the day. I was so tired on the first day that I fell asleep all the time. Also I had less desire for sex and again and again nausea with nausea, massive urination. In addition, pain, stinging and pulling on both breasts occurred on the second day. I also became slightly irritable and always had this inner quake at night. Nevertheless, I would have taken the drug because it worked in two days abruptly and I could finally eat and drink what I wanted without this terrible heartburn that I even had if I did not eat anything. Unfortunately, after a week Pariet massively increased my Restless Legs Syndrome, especially in the evening my legs were shaking like crazy. The attending physician also said that it probably came from Pariet because some prot.pumpenhemmer also affect the central nervous system. Now I take ranitidine for 4 days, also an acid blocker, but much milder. Apart from the fact that since yesterday I am a little bit sick and suffering from severe diarrhea, I have no side effects. Heartburn is gone since first night of ingestion. Oh yes, my friend also takes Pariet for months. Side effects include over-irritation, insomnia and daytime increased fatigue and fatigue, urgency. If he stops taking Pariet for a few days (as the doctor said he only needs to take it after 2 months of continuous medication), he immediately gets back into trouble after eating (feeling bloated, belching, heartburn). The drug is very expensive but does not know if you can get it on a prescription.
Side effects: Headache; Unrest; Diarrhea; Sleep disorders
Pariet for Gastritis
I have received Volon A40 as a depot injection intramuscularly (popo). The desired effect that alleviates the symptoms of allergy occurs so after 3-4 days. But also the side effects. Stomach pain (gastritis), difficulty sleeping, Cushing’s syndrome, leg pain, back pain …. I strongly recommend a proton pump inhibitor so that the stomach is not attacked ….
Side effects: Sleep disorders
Pariet for Reflux
Works better than cheaper alternatives!
Side effects: No side effects
Pariet for Reflux
Omeprazole and Pantozol were in vain for me. Pariet is the only thing that helps me. But the additional payment of about 28 € can not be financed for me. For the first time I will have to make a selection via internet. Being sick has become really expensive. I think of socially weaker, because I am financially really good. But you are driven to the internet. I’m afraid that there will be no shops in about 20 years. That scares me. We will be lonely! These too are side effects.
Side effects: No side effects
Pariet for Gastritis
Because of my reflux, I first got omeprazole prescribed by my doctor, which was more than bad for me. After consultation with my doctor, he then prescribed me Pariet. I have been taking Pariet for 3 weeks now and I do not feel any side effects.
