Pariet (rabeprazole sodium) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) designed for the effective management of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. It works by selectively and irreversibly inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells, leading to a pronounced and prolonged suppression of gastric acid secretion. Clinically proven to provide rapid symptom relief and promote mucosal healing, Pariet is indicated for a range of conditions including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), duodenal and gastric ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Its optimized pharmacokinetic profile ensures consistent bioavailability and a predictable therapeutic response, making it a first-line choice for gastroenterologists and healthcare providers worldwide.
Features
- Active ingredient: Rabeprazole sodium
- Available in 10 mg and 20 mg enteric-coated tablets
- Rapid onset of action with acid suppression observed within one hour
- High bioavailability, not significantly affected by food intake
- Metabolized primarily via non-enzymatic pathways, reducing potential for cytochrome P450-mediated interactions
- Designed for once-daily dosing in most indications
Benefits
- Provides rapid and sustained relief from heartburn, regurgitation, and other GERD symptoms
- Promotes healing of erosive esophagitis and reduces risk of recurrence
- Effective in eradicating Helicobacter pylori when used in combination therapy
- Minimizes nocturnal acid breakthrough, improving sleep quality in patients with nighttime symptoms
- Supports mucosal healing in peptic ulcer disease
- Reduces gastric acid secretion in hypersecretory conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
Common use
Pariet is commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including erosive esophagitis and symptomatic GERD. It is also indicated for the healing and maintenance of duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and for use in combination with antibiotics for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with peptic ulcer disease. Additionally, it is used for the long-term management of pathological hypersecretory conditions, including Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Dosage and direction
The recommended adult dosage varies by indication:
- GERD: 20 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks
- Erosive esophagitis maintenance: 10 mg or 20 mg once daily
- Duodenal ulcer: 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks
- H. pylori eradication: 20 mg twice daily as part of combination therapy for 7 days
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: Initial dose 60 mg once daily, adjusted based on acid output
Tablets should be swallowed whole with water, preferably in the morning before food. Do not crush, chew, or split tablets as this may damage the enteric coating.
Precautions
- Long-term use (especially beyond one year) may be associated with an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine
- May cause hypomagnesemia, particularly with prolonged therapy; monitor magnesium levels before initiation and periodically during treatment
- Avoid abrupt discontinuation as rebound acid hypersecretion may occur
- Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment; consider dose reduction
- May increase risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea
- Periodic monitoring of vitamin B12 levels recommended in patients expected to be on long-term therapy
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to rabeprazole, substituted benzimidazoles, or any component of the formulation
- Concomitant use with rilpivirine-containing products due to potential for decreased antiviral efficacy
- Patients taking atazanavir due to significant reduction in atazanavir exposure
Possible side effect
Common side effects (≥1/100 to <1/10):
- Headache
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Abdominal pain
- Flatulence
- Constipation
Uncommon side effects (≥1/1,000 to <1/100):
- Dizziness
- Insomnia
- Rash
- Dry mouth
- Fatigue
Rare but serious side effects:
- Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis)
- Acute interstitial nephritis
- Hypomagnesemia leading to tetany, arrhythmias, or seizures
- Vitamin B12 deficiency with long-term use
- Increased risk of bone fractures with prolonged high-dose therapy
Drug interaction
- May reduce absorption of drugs requiring acidic gastric pH (e.g., ketoconazole, iron salts, dabigatran)
- Potential interaction with clopidogrel due to CYP2C19 inhibition (clinical significance uncertain)
- May increase exposure to methotrexate
- Can affect concentrations of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19 (e.g., phenytoin, warfarin - monitor INR)
- Concomitant use with high-dose methotrexate may increase methotrexate levels
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered unless it is almost time for the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose. Maintain the regular dosing schedule.
Overdose
Experience with rabeprazole overdose is limited. Reported doses up to 80 mg have not produced serious adverse effects. Symptoms would be expected to be consistent with the known pharmacological effects of PPIs. There is no specific antidote; treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. Hemodialysis is not effective due to high protein binding.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15-30°C or 59-86°F) in the original container. Keep tightly closed and protect from moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.

Dosage and treatment duration should be determined by a physician based on individual patient needs and medical history. Patients should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before starting treatment.
Reviews
Clinical studies have demonstrated Pariet’s efficacy in multiple acid-related disorders. In a randomized controlled trial involving patients with erosive GERD, 20 mg Pariet once daily achieved complete endoscopic healing in 93% of patients after 8 weeks of treatment. Combination therapy with Pariet and antibiotics has shown H. pylori eradication rates exceeding 85% in intention-to-treat analyses. Long-term maintenance therapy with 10 mg daily has been shown to prevent relapse in 93% of patients with healed erosive esophagitis over 52 weeks. Real-world evidence supports the favorable safety profile observed in clinical trials, with most patients reporting significant improvement in quality of life measures.
