What is AcipHex?
AcipHex is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), secretion problems like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and with clarithromycin and amoxicillin for ulcers of the small intestine. GERD is caused by the constant backflow of stomach acid into your throat. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome occurs when the stomach begins to produce too much acid. Also, AcipHex is sometimes combined with the antibiotics amoxicillin and clarithromycin to treat infections caused by H. pylori, a type of bacteria that lives in the digestive tract and is often associated with recurrent ulcers.
