Aciphex Sprinkle is a medication that falls under the category of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It’s commonly prescribed to treat conditions related to excessive stomach acid production. This includes gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The medication comes in a convenient sprinkle form, making it easier to administer, especially for children or those who have difficulty swallowing pills.
