RABEGEN

Rabegen is an antisecretory drug (substituted benzimidazole proton-pump inhibitor) that does not reduce gastric acid secretion by blocking the gastric H+, K+ATPase at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. Rabeprazole has been classified as a gastric proton-pump inhibitor since this enzyme is thought to be the acid (proton) pump inside the parietal cell.
