I wonder, sometimes, did God know what he is doing when he made us so perfect? If we are so perfect then why this stomach acid bothers me so much? I have big problem and I am on the edge from getting an ulcer. I have got an Aciphex delayed release tablets. Doctor told me that I should take them whole, not to crush or chew them. Why is that? What is the active ingredient in Aciphex delayed release tablets?
Active ingredient in Aciphex delayed release tablets is rabeprazole sodium Aciphex contain 20 mg of rabeprazole sodium. The inactive ingredients are carnauba wax, crospovidone, ethylcellulose, mannitol, magnesium stearate and some others. But the reason for not crushing or chewing tablets is that they are specially formulated to release slowly in your body. Take it with full glass of water and dont worry it will do the rest.
