Rabeprazole increases the effectiveness of the anticoagulant warfarin (Coumadin). Rabeprazole reduces the elimination of cyclosporin in the liver, thereby increasing blood concentrations of cyclosporin and potentially leading to cyclosporin toxicity. The absorption of some drugs can be affected by changes in stomach acid levels. Rabeprazole reduces the absorption and blood concentrations of ketoconazole (Nizoral), increases the absorption and blood concentrations of digoxin (Lanoxin), leading to decreased effectiveness of ketoconazole or digoxin toxicity. Rabeprazole may decrease the blood level of atazanavir (Reyataz).
