aciphex side effects?
by Happy2girls, Mar 21, 2008 06:38PM
I was diagnosed with silent reflux on 2/6/08 and prescribed Aciphex. The ENT diagnosed the reflux through an endoscopy I think it's called...he threaded a fiber optic camera through my nostril and down my throat. He said my throat was swollen and red and that I had vocal cord nodules. I had no symptoms of GERD and went to the ENT because I had a near constant feeling of throat contriction. A previous Barrium swallow showed no GERD. Now I am having cramp like pain under my left rib cage which is relieved somewhat when I lie on my right side as opposed to my left. And the pain extends to my left flank. The pain gets very bad when I am standing for too long. Do you think this may be a side effect of the Aciphex? Thank you in advance for any insight you could provide.

Hi Happy2girls,
Muscle pain is a reported side effect following aciphex therapy.
But if your symptom persists for a long time meet your physician to rule out other causes.
