Q. Is it safe to use Rabeprazole for an extended period of time?

Answer

Rabeprazole is a prescription medication that should be taken exactly as your doctor prescribes. Nevertheless if any adverse effects persist or become bothersome your doctor may decide to stop taking it or prescribe an alternate antacid. Long-term usage can weaken bones by lowering magnesium and calcium levels therefore it's best to take calcium and magnesium tablets to satisfy your needs.
