Aciphex (rabeprazole sodium) is a medication that is used to treat a number of conditions within the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, including:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Erosive esophagitis
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections
Pathological hypersecretory conditions (such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)
Duodenal ulcers.
Protonix (pantoprazole sodium) is a medication that is used to treat a number of conditions within the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Erosive esophagitis
Pathological hypersecretory diseases (such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).
They both as you can read are used for gerd, but you already knew that.
I can not tell you which is the best one for you.
You must consult a Doctor.
