A member asked:
I am taking rabeprazole-20 twice. can i take peppermint oil capsule for bowel problem with the medicine. thanks. ?

Rabeprazole: Hi, it depends why you are taking it for, if you are taking it for acid reflux I don't think it's wise to take peppermint as that might increase your reflux symptoms. Also Peppermint decreases the clearance of Rabeprazole from your body, therefore you might not need to take it twice a day, talk to your Gasteroenterologist.
