Millions of people get heartburn from time to time. But if you?re experiencing it on a regular basis, your body is trying to tell you something is wrong. Persistent, frequent (2 or more days a week) heartburn, despite use of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and diet changes, could be acid reflux disease. Also referred to as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), acid reflux disease can get progressively worse if left untreated. It may be time to see your doctor. If your doctor tells you it?s acid reflux disease, he or she may prescribe ACIPHEX. ACIPHEX can help manage the effects of acid reflux disease, working to cool the heartburn and helping your body to help itself.

One ACIPHEX 20 mg tablet daily is used for the treatment of persistent, frequent (2 or more days a week) heartburn and other symptoms associated with acid reflux disease.

ACIPHEX is also used for the short-term (4 to 8 weeks) treatment in the healing and symptom relief of damaging (erosive) acid reflux disease (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and to maintain healing of damage (erosion) and relief of heartburn symptoms that happen with acid reflux disease. ACIPHEX has not been studied for treatment lasting longer than 12 months (1 year).

Important Safety Information
ACIPHEX has a well-established safety profile. The most common side effect possibly related to ACIPHEX is headache. Symptom relief does not rule out other serious stomach conditions. Patients on warfarin (such as Coumadin®) may need to be monitored more closely by their doctor. To learn more, talk to your doctor and see the full product information.
