Relief with ACIPHEX

ACIPHEX helps treat heartburn and other symptoms of acid reflux disease, like a bad taste in your throat and belching. And just 1 small ACIPHEX tablet a day, works all day and all night.

What is ACIPHEX?

ACIPHEX is a proton pump inhibitor. This type of drug works by reducing the acid produced by your stomach, so you'll have:

			Less acid in the stomach
			Less acid to irritate the esophagus
			Less heartburn and other acid reflux disease symptoms

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 in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and above.

If your doctor says that you have acid reflux disease, ask if prescription ACIPHEX is right for you.
