Rabeprazole is not recommended to be taken after meals. Rabeprazole is a benzimidazole-like proton pump inhibitor that specifically inhibits the action of triphosphoadenosidase, inhibits both basal gastric acid and gastric acid secretion caused by stimulation, and has a significant protective effect on the gastric mucosa. Therefore, Rabeprazole is suitable for symptoms of excessive acid secretion caused by various factors and is not recommended to be taken after meals in order to avoid affecting the action of the drug. The purpose is to ensure that the drug is not released in the stomach and destroyed by the acidic environment of the stomach, but is fully released in the small intestine, absorbed into the blood, and reaches the stomach wall cells through blood circulation to inhibit the secretion of gastric acid. . If taken after meals, rabeprazole needs to be emptied of food in the stomach and intestines before it can enter the intestine, which will result in the drug staying in the stomach for too long and releasing in the stomach to destroy the medicinal properties, or only a small amount of drug entering the intestine to destroy the therapeutic effect of the drug. Therefore, it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach, usually before breakfast. Also note that when taking rabeprazole, the capsule should not be cut open after grinding, as this will destroy the protective layer of the exterior and affect the effect of the drug.
