Anybody reacting negatively to new generic of Aciphex?

I just tried a generic for my fluid pill Microzide. Horrible side effects. Ended up with Elevated sugar, ocular migraines for 2 days. Flashing in right eye and now a circle ⭕️ floater.

Now BCBS won’t pay for Aciphex brand name. I am fighting the change. Read all inactive ingredients in Brand and then generic. They are awful. I am chemical sensitive and low immune system.
Maybe some can take generics but not me. Cannot tolerate vitamins so why could I tolerate genetics. Good luck to all.

So glad to hear I’m not the only one experiencing sub-par results with the generic drug for Aciphex!

Yes I’m having horrible side effects from the generic medication. Bloating, diarrhea, hives, headaches turning into migraines, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, nervousness, etc.
Waiting for it to get out of my system so I feel better. I guess I’m going back to Omeprazole and Gaviscon for my acid reflux.

I have found that the Rabeprazole Sod mfg by Kremers Urban simply doesn't work at all. I have been taking Aciphex for a number of years and when I switched to the generic, the script was filled using the drug mfg by TEVA. It worked as well as the brand name med, but after about 14 months, CVS switched to the Kremers Urban product and I immediately began having problems. They went back to the TEVA product the following fill and everything was fine again until about 6 months later it was changed again to the Kremers Urban, where once again GERD returned with a vengeance. I have taken the steps to make sure CVS never fills my script with that product again.

Great, finally got doctor to approve it! And got generic, report it to your drug administration I found this number and think it works 18003533965 state of Montana

I tired the generic for 2 years and started have burring in my throat, bloating, or feeling of being full, nauseated and sore taste in my mouth and sores in my mouth. I have been fight to get the insurance to pay for the name brand and they told me I need to pay $1500. My doctor fill out all there paper work and they still denied it. Please just get ride of the generic it is worthless. they paid for the name brand all long till they got a generic now they refused to pay for it GRRRRR!!

Same reaction as many unfortunately. Nauseated

i am nauseated and breaking out in hives from the generic! so disappointed.

I have been taking aciphex or it's generic for 15 years. When the generic became available, my pharm sent me the generic from Kremers. It worked as well as the brand name. In Jan my pharm company was changed to Caremark and when it was time to reorder in April they sent me the generic form from Lupin. In 2 days I had a sore throat and stomach pains. I took it until last week and decided that was enough and got some samples of brand aciphex from my doctor and resubmitted my prescription specifying Kremers. They don't stock Kremers but said they could get it but it will take longer. I hope it won't be long before they can send my Kremers. I have noticed that some of the folks on here also like the version from Teva. Don't know anything about the Teva one. Lupin comes from India and Teva comes from Israel. I will absolutely not EVER take the one from Lupin again.

I have a bad reaction to aciphex generic by Mylan pharmacy. I am now insisting to have the generic from lupin pharmacy as manufacturer and have no problem it is similar to the aciphex brand no side effects at all .
Try to stay with the same manufacturer pharmacy

There are now 8 generic mfg's of Aciphex. I've taken Eisai's brand Aciphex for 15years with great success. I've tried 3 of the original generics that came out in 2013, and only one works for me, and that's the one by Krem, aka Kremers Urban Dev. It's a blue pill, same size as the yellow aciphex. Krem's generic works great, even better than the aciphex brand itself. I highly recommend the Kremers generic. The two original generics that don't work for me at all are from Mylan & Teva.

The last time I got a supply of the generic for Aciphex, I got 3 bottles of 30. Two were from TEVA and one was from Lupin. I used a Teva first and was fine. Next I started a bottle from Lupin and after a few days, I was choking and coughing after each meal plus having heartburn. I stopped that bottle and switched back to a Teva and after 3 days I am fine again. There is definitely a problem with the Lupin. I would love to be able to purchase real Aciphex again. Someone posted that they get it from an international web site (?) and I would like more information if possible. Thanks!

I did great on the generic for about a year. For the last two months, I have been having a lot of problems, but this is sporadic. The company making my version is Lupin in India. I think they are either skimping on the active ingredients, or they are including placebos in with the real thing. I called my pharmacy and was told this is impossible as the FDA inspects drugs. But it is certainly impossible to inspect every bottle and every pill. I've yet to make an appointment with my doctor, but I am going to have to as some days are unbearable.

I have severe laryngeal-pharyngeal reflux. Aciphex really helped. When my insurance offered a $20 copay for the generic (as compared to $300 for the brand name/three months' supply), I decided to try the generic. I used the generic made by Kremers Urban Pharmaceuticals Inc. and it worked as well as the brand name for the year that I took it. Now my insurance has switched to a different pharmacy (CVS instead of Express Scripts) and CVS uses the Aciphex generic made by Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. It does not work at all. I have severe heartburn, gas pains, and stomach aches. I'm very worried that the laryngitis will return soon.
