But Rabeprazole does not have clinically significant interaction with other drugs metabolized by CYP P450 system, such as warfarin, theophylline, diazepam and phenytoin.Rabeprazole inhibits gastric acid secretion and may interfere with absorption of drugs where gastric pH is an important determinant of bioavailability e.g. ketoconazole, iron salts and digoxin.In studies no interaction with liquid antacid or foods was observed.
