Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor ( PPI) and Ranitidine is an H2 blocker.
Both are for reducing the acid secretion in the stomach. However rabeprazole is a more potent than ranitidine to decrease the acid secretion.
I shall be happy to answer more queries if you have.
Take care,
Dr Noble Zachariah
