Known hypersensitivity to rabeprazole, any ingredient in the formulation, or other substituted benzimidazoles (e.g., esomeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, omeprazole).
Response to rabeprazole does not preclude presence of occult gastric neoplasm.
Proton-pump inhibitors associated with possible increased (1.4–2.75 times) risk of Clostridium difficile infection, including C. difficile-associated diarrhea and colitis (CDAD; also known as antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis or pseudomembranous colitis). Many patients also had other risk factors for CDAD. May be severe; colectomy and, rarely, death reported.
Use the lowest effective dosage and shortest duration of therapy appropriate for the patient's clinical condition.
Consider CDAD if persistent diarrhea develops and manage accordingly; initiate supportive therapy (e.g., fluid and electrolyte management), anti-infective therapy directed against C. difficile (e.g., metronidazole, vancomycin), and surgical evaluation as clinically indicated.
Administration of proton-pump inhibitors has been associated with an increased risk for developing certain infections (e.g., community-acquired pneumonia).
Several observational studies suggest that use of proton-pump inhibitors, particularly in high dosages (i.e., multiple daily doses) and/or for prolonged periods of time (i.e., ≥1 year), may be associated with increased risk of osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine. Magnitude of risk is unclear; causality not established. FDA is continuing to evaluate this safety concern.
Use the lowest effective dosage and shortest duration of therapy appropriate for the patient’s clinical condition.
Individuals at risk for osteoporosis-related fractures should receive an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D; assess and manage these patients’ bone health according to current standards of care.
Hypomagnesemia, symptomatic and asymptomatic, reported rarely in patients receiving long-term therapy (≥3 months or, in most cases, >1 year) with proton-pump inhibitors, including rabeprazole. Serious adverse effects include tetany, seizures, tremors, carpopedal spasm, arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia), and abnormal QT interval. Paresthesia, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, lethargy, fatigue, and unsteadiness may occur. Most patients required magnesium replacement and discontinuance of the proton-pump inhibitor. Hypomagnesemia resolved within 1 week (median) following discontinuance and recurred within 2 weeks (median) of rechallenge.
In patients expected to receive long-term proton-pump inhibitor therapy or in patients currently receiving digoxin or drugs that may cause hypomagnesemia (e.g., diuretics), consider measuring serum magnesium concentrations prior to initiation of prescription proton-pump inhibitor therapy and periodically thereafter.
Category B.
Not known whether rabeprazole is distributed into milk; discontinue nursing or the drug.
Safety and efficacy for short-term treatment of symptomatic GERD established in adolescents 12–16 years of age. Pharmacokinetic and adverse effect profiles similar to those in adults.
Safety and efficacy not established in children <12 years of age.
No substantial differences in safety or efficacy relative to younger adults, but increased sensitivity cannot be ruled out.
Use with caution in patients with severe impairment.
Pain, pharyngitis, flatulence, infection, constipation.
Metabolized in the liver, principally by CYP3A and 2C19 isoenzymes.
No clinically important interactions with some drugs that are metabolized by CYP isoenzymes under single dose conditions; effects of rabeprazole have not been studied under steady-state conditions.
Potential pharmacologic interaction (possible increased risk of hypomagnesemia). Consider monitoring magnesium concentrations prior to initiation of prescription proton-pump inhibitor therapy and periodically thereafter. (See Hypomagnesemia under Cautions.)
Drug
Interaction
Comments
Amoxicillin
Increased rabeprazole and 14-hydroxyclarithromycin AUC and plasma concentrations when administered with amoxicillin and clarithromycin
Not expected to result in toxicity
Antacids
No clinically important effects on rabeprazole pharmacokinetics
Atazanavir
Possible altered oral absorption of atazanavir, resulting in decreased plasma atazanavir concentrations; possible loss of virologic response
Manufacturer of rabeprazole states that concomitant administration with atazanavir is not recommended
Antiretroviral treatment-naive patients: If a proton-pump inhibitor is used concomitantly with atazanavir, administer ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (atazanavir 300 mg and ritonavir 100 mg once daily with food); administer the proton-pump inhibitor approximately 12 hours before ritonavir-boosted atazanavir
For treatment-naive patients, dosage of proton-pump inhibitor should not exceed omeprazole 20 mg daily (or equivalent)
Antiretroviral treatment-experienced patients: Concomitant use of proton-pump inhibitors with atazanavir not recommended
Clarithromycin
Increased rabeprazole and 14-hydroxyclarithromycin AUC and plasma concentrations when administered with amoxicillin and clarithromycin
Not expected to result in toxicity
Clopidogrel
Certain CYP2C19 inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole, esomeprazole) reduce exposure to clopidogrel’s active metabolite and decrease platelet inhibitory effect; potentially may reduce clopidogrel’s clinical efficacy
Dexlansoprazole, lansoprazole, or pantoprazole had less effect on clopidogrel's antiplatelet activity than did omeprazole or esomeprazole
Assess risks and benefits of concomitant proton-pump inhibitor and clopidogrel use in individual patients
American College of Cardiology Foundation/American College of Gastroenterology/American Heart Association (ACCF/ACG/AHA) states that GI bleeding risk reduction with concomitant proton-pump inhibitor in patients with risk factors for GI bleeding (e.g., advanced age; concomitant use of warfarin, corticosteroids, or NSAIAs; H. pylori infection) may outweigh potential reduction in cardiovascular efficacy of antiplatelet treatment associated with a drug-drug interaction. In patients without such risk factors, ACCF/ACG/AHA states that risk/benefit balance may favor use of antiplatelet therapy without a proton-pump inhibitor.
If concomitant therapy with a proton-pump inhibitor and clopidogrel is deemed necessary, consider using an agent with little or no CYP2C19-inhibitory activity; alternatively, consider using a histamine H2-receptor antagonist (ranitidine, famotidine, nizatidine) but not cimetidine (also a potent CYP2C19 inhibitor)
Cyclosporine
Rabeprazole inhibited cyclosporine metabolism in vitro
Diazepam
No pharmacokinetic interaction observed after single doses
Digoxin
Hypomagnesemia (e.g., resulting from long-term use of proton-pump inhibitors) sensitizes the myocardium to digoxin and, thus, may increase risk of digoxin-induced cardiotoxic effects
See table entry for gastric pH-dependent drugs
Consider monitoring magnesium concentrations prior to initiation of prescription proton-pump inhibitor therapy and periodically thereafter
Diuretics (i.e., loop or thiazide diuretics)
Possible increased risk of hypomagnesemia
Consider monitoring magnesium concentrations prior to initiation of prescription proton-pump inhibitor therapy and periodically thereafter
Fosamprenavir
Use of esomeprazole with fosamprenavir (with or without ritonavir) did not substantially affect concentrations of amprenavir (active metabolite of fosamprenavir)
No dosage adjustment required when proton-pump inhibitors used with fosamprenavir (with or without ritonavir)
Gastric pH-dependent drugs (e.g., digoxin, ketoconazole)
Rabeprazole may alter drug absorption
Monitor if used concomitantly
Lopinavir
Lopinavir/ritonavir: Omeprazole had no clinically important effect on plasma concentrations or AUC of lopinavir
No dosage adjustment required when proton-pump inhibitors used with lopinavir/ritonavir
Methotrexate (high-dose)
Possible delayed clearance and increased serum concentrations of methotrexate and/or its metabolite hydroxymethotrexate; possible methotrexate toxicity
Reported mainly with high-dose methotrexate (300 mg/m2 to 12 g/m2), but also reported with low dosages (e.g., 15 mg per week)
Manufacturer of rabeprazole recommends considering temporary discontinuance of proton-pump inhibitor therapy in some patients receiving high-dose methotrexate
Some clinicians recommend withholding the proton-pump inhibitor for several days before and after administration of either high-dose or low-dose methotrexate or, alternatively, substituting a histamine H2-receptor antagonist for the proton-pump inhibitor
Phenytoin
No pharmacokinetic interaction observed after single doses
Raltegravir
Omeprazole increased peak plasma concentration and AUC of raltegravir
No dosage adjustment recommended when proton-pump inhibitors used with raltegravir
Rilpivirine
Omeprazole decreased plasma concentrations and AUC of rilpivirine
Concomitant use of rilpivirine and proton-pump inhibitors contraindicated
Saquinavir
Ritonavir-boosted saquinavir: Omeprazole increased peak plasma concentration and AUC of saquinavir
Caution advised if proton-pump inhibitor used with ritonavir-boosted saquinavir; monitor for saquinavir toxicity
Sucralfate
Possible delayed proton-pump inhibitor absorption and decreased bioavailability
Administer proton-pump inhibitor at least 30 minutes before sucralfate
Theophylline
No pharmacokinetic interaction observed after single doses
Warfarin
Potential for increased INR and PT
Monitor PT and INR
Absolute bioavailability with 20 mg dose is about 52%. Repeated dosing does not affect pharmacokinetics.
Within 1 hour. Median inhibition of 24-hour gastric acidity is 88% of maximum after first dose.
High-fat meal may delay absorption but does not affect extent.
AUC increased 50–60% in Japanese males receiving a different rabeprazole formulation.
AUC doubled in patients with mild to moderate compensated cirrhosis. Peak plasma concentrations and AUCs increased 20% in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
In geriatric patients, peak plasma concentration increased by 60% and AUCs doubled.
Not known whether rabeprazole crosses the placenta or is distributed into milk.
Prolonged binding to gastric parietal proton pump enzyme.
Approximately 96%.
Metabolized in the liver, principally by CYP3A and CYP2C19. Principal thioether and sulphone metabolites found in plasma are inactive.
Excreted as metabolites in urine (90%); remainder in feces.
1–2 hours.
In patients with mild to moderate compensated cirrhosis, elimination half-life was 2–3 times greater, and clearance decreased to less than one-half.
In patients with poor CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotype, metabolism is slower than in those with extensive (or rapid) metabolizer phenotype.
25°C (may be exposed to 15–30°C). Protect from moisture.
Inhibits basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion.
Concentrates in acid conditions of parietal cell secretory canaliculi; forms active sulfenamide metabolite that binds to and inactivates hydrogen-potassium ATPase (proton- or acid-pump), blocking final step in secretion of hydrochloric acid. Sustained inactivation of hydrogen-potassium ATPase results in prolonged duration of action.
Suppresses gastric H. pylori in patients with duodenal ulcer and/or reflux esophagitis infected with the organism. Combined therapy with rabeprazole and one or more appropriate anti-infectives (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin) can effectively eradicate H. pylori gastric infection.
Importance of swallowing tablets whole, without crushing or chewing.
Importance of advising patients that use of multiple daily doses of the drug for an extended period of time may increase the risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine.
Risk of hypomagnesemia; importance of immediately reporting and seeking care for any cardiovascular or neurologic manifestations (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, seizures, tetany).
Importance of informing clinicians of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs. Antacids may be used concomitantly as needed for pain relief.
Possible increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection; importance of contacting clinician if persistent watery stools, abdominal pain, and fever occur.
Importance of women informing their clinicians if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed.
Importance of informing patients of other important precautionary information. (See Cautions.)
Excipients in commercially available drug preparations may have clinically important effects in some individuals; consult specific product labeling for details.
