AcipHex

AcipHex is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and certain types of ulcers. AcipHex works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, and difficulty swallowing. It is typically taken once daily before a meal.
