Ten mg dexrabeprazole daily is as effective as 20 mg rabeprazole daily.
Ten mg dexrabeprazole daily has been shown to be more effective than 20 mg rabeprazole daily against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This report shows that the efficacy of 10 mg dexrabeprazole daily is equivalent to that of 20 mg dexrabeprazole daily against GERD. This implies that a dose of 10 mg dexrabeprazole is sufficient to block the maximum amount of proton pumps without any need to double the dose as suggested with rabeprazole.
