Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
If that generic is still the same as is Aciphex, thats Rabeprazole, there should have been no problem. It should have worked good.

I think the generic isn't of good quality or so. You should try somehow to return back to Aciphex, the most suitable for you.

Also consult a Gastroentrologist, for reevaluation and to rule of any ulcer in stomach or small intestine. He may go for Gastroscopy. Its necessary because with so long history of reflux it happens sometimes in patients.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
