Abstract excerpt
Amongst all the proton pump inhibitors (PPI), the hepatic metabolism of rabeprazole is least dependent on the CYP4502C19 system.

This unique feature of rabeprazole complements rabeprazole's fast onset of action, and may lead to profound and consistent inhibition of gastric acid secretion in the treatment of acid-related disorders.
