About Rabeprazole

Rabeprazole is a medication belonging to the Proton Pump Inhibitor family of drugs, also known as PPIs.

Its primary indication is as a treatment for adults whose stomachs are producing too much acid, in order to reduce conditions brought on by excess acid issues (i.e., acid reflux, GERD, etc.).

Rabeprazole EC is the brand name for this medication, while the main active ingredient in Rabeprazole prescriptions is rabeprazole sodium.

Rabeprazole dosages work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces, in order to reduce the symptoms and conditions associated with excess stomach acid.

It does this by blocking the final step in the gastric acid secretion process, as well as produces dose-related sustained prevention of gastric acid secretion.

There are a number of uses for Rabeprazole prescriptions, depending on the specific symptoms and associated condition you’re experiencing. These include:

  • Relieving symptoms of and to assist in healing duodenal ulcers
  • Relieving symptoms of and to assist in healing stomach ulcers
  • Relieving symptoms of and to assist with healing Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
  • Treating symptoms of non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), such as heartburn and regurgitation
  • Maintaining long-term healing after experiencing GERD
  • Treating rare conditions that cause the production of excess stomach acid (i.e., Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)

It’s important that you only take Rabeprazole dosages for the specified amount of time your practitioner has suggested. It will usually be a set period of time.

Their goal will be for you to take the lowest dose of Rabeprazole possible, for the shortest period of time, while still providing relief for stomach acid issues.

Tablets are to be taken on the dosing schedule provided by your practitioner. They can be taken with or without food, but they should always be taken with a liquid. It’s best to take it 30-60 minutes before a meal for maximum effect. Don’t crush or chew the tablets.

Never take more than your prescribed dosage of Rabeprazole, and never double-up on your prescription or stop taking it without consulting your practitioner.

If you miss a dose of Rabeprazole, you can take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s getting close to the time for your next dosage, in which case you should skip the missed tablet. Taking too much Rabeprazole can cause interactions like worsened side effects.

Rabeprazole dosages start to work within an hour of you taking the tablet, and it’s fully effective within your body within 1.5-5 hours, depending on your individual metabolics.

Repeat dosages have been shown to increase the ongoing effects of this medication, although the dosages of Rabeprazole are completely expelled from the body (90% in urine and 10% in feces) after being processed by your gastrointestinal tract.

SIDE NOTE: If you’re wondering, “how long is it safe to take Rabeprazole?”, the answer is as short as possible to achieve the results you need. The reason that practitioners typically use specific treatment periods is that use of Rabeprazole for a year or more can lead to an increased risk of fractures in your hips, wrists, or spine.

Most of the side effects of Rabeprazole dosages will be mild. Some patients may not experience side effects from Rabeprazole at all, and those that do may notice that the side effects lessen or disappear as their bodies adjust to the medication.

With that in mind, the most common side effects of Rabeprazole include:

  • Headaches
  • Diarrhea
  • Rashes
  • Itchiness
  • Dizziness

If any of these side effects of Rabeprazole become severe, be sure to let your practitioner know. They may be able to suggest alternative acid reflux treatments to Rabeprazole without interactions or side effects.

Rarely, there are some more seriously occurring side effects of Rabeprazole to watch for. Let your practitioner know immediately if you start to experience:

  • Seizures
  • Severe dizziness
  • Abnormal or racing heartbeat
  • Jitteriness
  • Muscle weakness
  • Jerking movements or shaking (also called tremors)
  • New or worsening joint pain
  • Muscle aches or cramping
  • Spasms in your hands or feet
  • Rashes on your cheeks or arms that worsen in sunlight
  • Voice box spasms
  • Fractures (a broken bone)

SIDE NOTE: Abruptly stopping PPI treatments after a long time may worsen existing side effects of Rabeprazole, as well as lead to a sudden increase in stomach acid production. If side effects are severe, please seek immediate in-person care. It’s important to let your practitioner know if you’re planning to stop taking your Rabeprazole prescription.

Some people shouldn’t use Rabeprazole, because interactions may occur that could cause negative side effects. These people include:

  • Patients taking rilpivirine
  • Patient under the age of 18
  • Patients who are allergic to Rabeprazole or any of the other active ingredients in this treatment

In addition to these, there are some patients that should be extra cautious about using online Rabeprazole prescriptions. These people include those who:

  • Have liver problems
  • Are taking methotrexate
  • Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
  • Are breastfeed or planning to breastfeed
  • Are due to have a Chromogranin A blood test soon

Be sure to let your practitioner know if any of these apply to you, prior to requesting an online prescription for Rabeprazole. They may be able to suggest an alternative to Rabeprazole without interactions or negative side effects.

Also, be sure to let your practitioner know before starting Rabeprazole dosages if you’re currently experiencing these symptoms:

  • Heart palpitations (rapid heartbeat)
  • Dizziness
  • Twitching
  • Spasms
  • Seizures
  • Muscle weakness
  • Cramps
  • Convulsions

These may be signs that you currently have low blood magnesium levels, which your practitioner may need to address, prior to providing you with Rabeprazole for GERD or acid reflux symptoms.

The safety of Rabeprazole in pregnancy or during breastfeeding hasn’t been established by any studies at this point.

Because of this, it’s not recommended to use Rabeprazole in pregnancy. You should let your practitioner know before requesting an online Rabeprazole prescription in Canada, if you’re currently pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to breastfeed.

They may be able to suggest an alternative medication to Rabeprazole without interactions, while still offering management solutions for stomach acid issues.

Health Canada regulations require us to confirm your patient status to access further information on Rabeprazole.

The drug identification number (DIN) is easy to find. It'll be printed on your Rabeprazole pen and the receipt from your pharmacist.

How it works

Frequently asked questions

How Can I Get a Rabeprazole Prescription Online in Canada through Felix?

You might be able to! However, before you can access medications like Rabeprazole, you’ll need to get assessed by a licensed healthcare practitioner, who can determine whether Rabeprazole is the right choice for your treatment plan.

Felix is making this process quick, convenient, and accessible for patients across Canada through our secure, chat-based online assessment system. Just complete a short online assessment (whenever it works for you), and one of our practitioners will typically get back to you within 24 hours.

If they believe that an online Rabeprazole prescription in Canada is the right choice for you, they can provide you with one. Plus, Felix’s pharmacy partners can then fill and ship your Rabeprazole to you at no cost!

You’ll only have to pay a small assessment fee, as well as the cost of any prescribed medications. We’ll take care of everything else!

Is It Safe to Order Rabeprazole Online in Canada?

It’s safe to order Rabeprazole online in Canada when you go with Felix. Our team of licensed healthcare practitioners are skilled and experienced at helping patients manage a wide variety of ailments, so they can help you find a treatment that can be both effective and safe for you to use.

Felix’s pharmacy partners are licensed and registered to provide the same medications and treatments that you’ll find at your local pharmacy.

The only difference with Felix versus going to see your family doctor is that there’s no more waiting around in crowded rooms full of sick people, or standing in long lines at the pharmacy waiting to access your prescribed treatments.

We offer the safety and expertise you need to know you’re protected, while also giving you the freedom and convenience to get the treatments you need, from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Felix can even arrange for future Rabeprazole refills to be delivered, before you run out. This way, you’ll always have your medications on-hand when you need them.

‍Is Rabeprazole Covered by Insurance in Canada?

We can’t answer this question generally, because every insurance provider and individual benefits package will include a different set of features.

We’d recommend reaching out to your insurance rep, prior to requesting an online Rabeprazole prescription from Felix. This way, you’ll be able to give your clinician any of your applicable insurance information during your assessment.

If you are covered, Felix can even bill your insurer directly to save you the time and trouble! The same applies to future Rabeprazole refills.

In regards to provincial coverage, it’s impossible for us to answer this generally either, because each province will offer coverage for different types of medications. What’s available in one province may not be available in others.

You should look into what medications are available for coverage in your province of residence, as well as what the eligibility criteria is for that medication.

Can I be accurately assessed remotely?

Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We’ve worked with specialists to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a treatment plan for certain conditions, but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a lifestyle treatment safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about your current treatments or treatment plans.

It’s an emergency. What do I do?

Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Felix is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.

What is Felix?

Felix is Canada’s first truly integrated healthcare platform. We provide on-demand treatment for everyday health needs like weight loss, mental health, sexual health, and more. Founded in 2019, our digital-first approach to healthcare includes everything from diagnosis to prescription — all accessible from the comfort of home.

Who can use Felix?

Anyone who is 18 years or older (16 or older for acne and birth control prescriptions), and is located in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan or Ontario. We cannot ship treatments outside of these provinces at this time.

Can I just get the treatment and skip the online visit?

No. A visit with a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all treatments currently provided through Felix’s service. 

Please email our Customer Support team at [email protected] and they will be able to assist you with the transfer.

Do I need to complete my online visit at a scheduled time?

No. We use an asynchronous telemedicine model so you can complete your online visit in your own time and we save your progress so you can come back later to finish it.

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

Does the online visit require a phone or video appointment?

Most assessments do not require a phone or video conversation. Once a prescriber has reviewed the info in your assessment they will respond to you via secure instant messages that you can access within your Felix account.  

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

How does the visit work?

After creating an account, you will complete a medical assessment for evaluation by one of the Felix healthcare practitioners. 

During your assessment, you will have the opportunity to send your practitioner questions via secure messaging.  

In most cases, practitioners will complete your assessment with secure messaging alone but sometimes they may determine you require an audio or video visit and/or further diagnostic testing to help determine the best treatment plan for you. 

If your practitioner has determined a prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your visit and write you a prescription. Our pharmacy will then ship your prescription to your home.

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

How quickly will a healthcare practitioner review my online visit?

You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 24 hours of submission. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please reach out to our Patient Support team through the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of your account or our Contact Us page.

I completed my online visit. Now what?

Great, you’ve already taken the first step! Next, a healthcare practitioner will review your assessment and if necessary, will send you a link to book an online audio or video appointment with them. This appointment will help them determine the best treatment plan for you. If your healthcare practitioner thinks you will benefit from an available medication, they will write you a prescription. Our pharmacy can ship your medication to your home if you would like your medication dispensed through the Felix Pharmacy network.

Do I have to be home to receive my package?

A signature upon delivery may be required.

How and when can I update my shipping address?

Your address can be updated from the Shipping tab of your account. Kindly note that any changes need to be made 48hr ahead of your refill date.

How long will it take to get my medication?

Not long. After completing your assessment, a practitioner will generally respond within 24 hours, and often much sooner.

The pharmacy will process and fill your prescription within 2-3 business days of your prescription approval date if there is nothing blocking them from doing so.

All packages are shipped via Express Post, which usually takes 2-3 business days. You will receive an email with your tracking number once your treatment has been shipped.

How many days do I have to notify you of an undelivered or lost package, or damaged medication?

You have 14 days from the date your tracking link was sent to notify us of an undelivered or lost package, or damaged medication.

What do I do if my package was returned to Felix?

We’ll contact you via email if your package is returned to us!

For most treatments, your meds will be destroyed 1 month after your fill date should you fail to respond to Felix Customer Support or contact the partner pharmacy. Temperature controlled medications may have a reduced reshipment eligibility window due to their limited shelf life, in accordance with product guidelines. All reshipments are at the discretion of a pharmacist’s professional judgment.

If you require assistance with a returned package, please reach out to our Patient Support team through the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of your account or our Contact Us page.

What happens if there isn’t anyone available for the delivery?

Depending on your province of residence and the treatment being dispensed, your Felix packages may require a signature on delivery. If this cannot be collected where necessary, your package will be available at the closest post office for pick up. Usually, packages are available for up to 14 days after the first attempted delivery. If you don’t pick up your package within the allotted time, it will be returned to the sender, which may cause a further delay in your delivery.

Status updates for your prescription will appear in the Upcoming tab. You’ll be able to see if your prescription is being processed by our pharmacists or if it’s en route for delivery.

Read more on our Privacy Policy.

We are supported by leaders in the Canadian pharmacology and specialized medical fields. Felix adheres strictly to all the regulations set forth by all applicable Colleges of Pharmacists and Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons in which we operate.

Is this safe?

Absolutely. All prescriptions obtained via Felix are provided by licensed Canadian healthcare practitioners—the same as you would get at a hospital, doctor’s office, or clinic.

How do I change my credit card information?

Go to Billing, and you will be able to update the credit card information on file.

How much does a checkup visit cost?

The cost of the checkup visit varies by category, but in many cases there is no charge, so long as you complete your checkup visit before your current prescription expires.

How much is the online visit?

Felix charges a fee for the online visit. In most cases the fee is $40 but varies by treatment category. The visit fee includes a prescription valid for up to a year (depending on the condition) and on-going support from the healthcare practitioner or pharmacist.

How much will my treatment cost?

It depends. Treatment costs vary but will be in line with what you would pay at a pharmacy in person. You will see the estimated cost of your treatment before insurance, during the online visit but will only be billed for medication costs for your prescription once it is approved and sent to our pharmacy. Once approved, your treatment and payment will be processed within one to two days.

Keep in mind that you won’t necessarily need to pay the full price yourself. If you have insurance, Felix’s partner pharmacies will bill your insurer directly. You may also be eligible for financial support in your province.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards for any aspect of your treatment not covered by insurance or other financial support

Why can’t I see medication prices on the website?

While it is illegal in Canada to display market pricing for prescription medication, you will be able to see the estimated cost of medication during the online visit. The price shown is an estimation and will vary if the healthcare practitioner prescribes you a different medication, or if you have insurance or benefits coverage. All estimated prices shown during the online visit include the pharmacy fill fee based on the refill schedule of your choice.

Will I be charged for the visit fee, even if a prescription is denied?

Yes, the visit fee is charged when you submit your visit and is generally refunded if the visit is denied by your healthcare practitioner.
Exceptions apply: Weight Loss visit fees are refunded only if you are deemed clinically ineligible. Visit fees for Diagnostic categories (Metabolic Health, STIs) and Menopause are non-refundable. For these complex health categories, the visit fee covers the practitioner’s time to review your medical assessment, issuing a lab requisition, reviewing your lab results with you, and making a diagnosis if applicable.

Am I covered by my insurance?

Treatment coverage varies greatly between different insurance plans.

The good news is that if you are covered, Felix can bill your insurer directly, and then process your treatment plan at no additional cost to you. We recommend that you upload your private and/or provincial benefit card during the online visit so that our pharmacy partner can apply any coverage you are eligible for before processing your treatment plan.

Insurance coverage for treatment plans through Felix doesn’t include the cost of your visit.

I didn’t have insurance when I first got my prescription, but now I have it. What do I do?

Go to Billing where you can add or update your insurance information on file.

I forgot to upload my insurance information before my first fill was charged. What can I do now?

You will find the official receipt for your medication costs within your package from the pharmacy. This receipt can be used to submit a manual claim directly to your insurance/benefits provider. Future refills will be direct-billed directly to your insurance provider, once you have uploaded your insurance information from the Billing tab of your account.

I uploaded my insurance information during my online visit but still see a cost for the medication in my profile.

The coverage you are eligible for will not be deducted until the pharmacy processes your refill, so the price you see in your profile is the estimated maximum medication cost before benefits. Once the pharmacy ships your meds, the actual cost will be displayed for the respective refill.

Is birth control covered by OHIP in Ontario?

OHIP+ covers some birth control for eligible residents of Ontario who are under 25 years old and do not have private insurance. You can check if your birth control medication is covered here. Make sure to upload your Ontario health card during your online visit so our pharmacy partners can apply your coverage directly.

Is the medication covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

Medication coverage varies greatly between different plans, provinces, and has specific criteria that determine eligibility.
