A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Aciphex is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is also used to promote healing of erosive esophagitis (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid). Aciphex may also be given with an antibiotic to prevent gastric ulcer caused by infection with helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). .
ACIPHEX is not intended for immediate relief of heartburn symptoms.
Use ACIPHEX exactly as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not change your doses or dosing schedule without consulting your healthcare professional. Generally, ACIPHEX is prescribed for 4 to 8 weeks only. Your doctor may recommend a second course of treatment if you need additional healing time.
ACIPHEX may be taken with or without food. It is recommended to take this medication with a full glass (8 ounces) of water. Do not crush, break, or chew - swallow the tablet whole. Breaking or tampering with the tablet may alter the effects of the medication. Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time.
